School building

School building

From Suara Karya

It is saddening to see an elementary school with a tilted
roof, broken windows, dirty walls and an inadequate playground.
It looks more like a warehouse than a school.

This school is in Sukanegara village in Bogor, West Java. I
believe there are many other elementary schools which are in
equally poor condition.

I was wondering how our children can learn in such a poor
building. Elementary education is the foundation on which we
develop potential human resources. At least this is often spouted
by officials in their speeches. What we can really expect from
such a poor school is suffering not quality human resources. I
hope the local administration will show greater concern for the
ramshackle schools.
