Students to have morning workout

JAKARTA (JP): The Ministry of Education will revive an
obligatory gymnastic workout for elementary school students
before they start their daily lessons soon.

"We have completed a 12-minute program for students. It was
made public during the National Education celebrations early this
month," Sri Sudono Soemarto, the ministry's director of sports
affairs, said yesterday.

He said that a team of 17 experts, on sports, education and
music, worked together to draft gymnastic moves and background
music suitable for elementary school students. (amd)
