NU leaders take courses in UK

JAKARTA: At least twelve leaders of the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)
Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) left for the United Kingdom
over the weekend to attend a five-week training course.

NU, the country's biggest Muslim organization, claims to have
40 million members across the country.

During their stay in the United Kingdom, they would study
educational curriculum development, teach religious studies, and
encourage inter-faith dialogue and tolerance.

The British Embassy in Jakarta is supporting the training at
the request of NU chairman Hasyim Muzadi. -- JP
