Schools offer registration on the Net

SURABAYA: Junior high school graduates in Surabaya will be able to register for their favorite high schools on the Internet, thanks to support from state telecommunications firm PT Telkom for the East Java division.

Deputy division head Mumu Natapriatna said here on Wednesday that graduates only have to click on www.pendidikansby.org or www.sekolah-online.net to search for their preferred schools and enroll themselves for the next academic year.

The names of accepted students will be announced on the websites, where students and parents can monitor the update of the selection process by the hour.

After registration, the students need only to submit the required documents to one of 35 designated selection posts across the city.

Mumu said the online services, provided in cooperation with the mayoralty administration, would ease traffic congestion resulting from activities related to school registration. -- Antara
