School buildings in poor condition

JAKARTA (JP): Hundreds of state elementary schools in Bogor
are in very poor condition and are badly in need of renovation.

"The ceilings of a number of buildings have to be supported by
bamboo poles. It really endangers students at the schools," Denny
Moechry Moerti, the Bogor administration's spokesperson, said.

Over 100 of the damaged schools are located in 23 villages in
the Citeureup district, Denny was quoted by Antara as saying.
They house 426 classrooms.

Other damaged school buildings are located in Cileuksa village
where the walls have to be supported by bamboo poles to keep them
from falling. (hhr)
