JAKARTA: The Singapore Ministry of Education recently granted
39 Indonesian students the ASEAN Secondary Three Scholarships
enabling them to join a two-year course leading to a Singapore
Cambridge General Certificate of Education examination.

This is the fourth year the scholarship has been awarded to
Indonesian students. It is also offered to other member countries
of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

In the first year of 1992, nine Indonesian students were
granted the scholarship. In 1993 and 1994, 18 and 29 students
were awarded it, respectively.

The Indonesian students will leave for Singapore today to
undergo an intensive English course before they attend their
respective schools in January.(pwn)
