New school for Legend City

JAKARTA (JP): Iman Pengharapan & Kasih foundation signed an agreement yesterday with PT Putra Alvita Pratama, a housing developer, to provide the Legend City housing complex in Bekasi with an education facility.

The chairman of the foundation, Lukas Jethrokusumo, plans to build a preschool, elementary, junior and high school in the complex.

"The construction of the first phase will begin in September and it will be ready to accept new students in the 1997/1998 student year," Lukas said.

Lukas said the planned schools will not be international schools and will be based on local curricula.

The developer's commissioner, Cosmas Batubara, said that the building will be on 2.45 hectares of land, for which the housing complex and foundation will pay Rp 50,000 per square meter.(yns)
