Students protest teacher's transfer

Students protest teacher's transfer

TANGERANG: Around 1,300 students of SMUN 2 state high school
marched to Tangerang municipality education agency on Tuesday,
about one kilometer away from their school, to protest the
agency's decision to transfer seven of their teachers.

"Losing seven qualified teachers at the same time makes us
scared that our image as one of the best schools will fade," said
one of the students.

The seven teachers -- who were transferred to three different
schools -- concluded that they had surely done something wrong as
the notification of the move was so sudden.

But, the head of the agency, Harry Mulya Zain, said that the
seven teacher's transfer was a routine and normal procedure.

However, he promised to review the decision with Tangerang
Mayor M. Thamrin soon. -- JP
