Students want headmaster back

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: At least 500 students of the state SMAN I senior high school protested on Wednesday against the decision of the local education office to transfer their headmaster to other school.

Representatives of the students told the office's administration coordinator R.S Saenong that they felt it hard to let their headmaster Muh. Idrus move because he had done a lot to improve the quality of the school, according to Antara.

"We will feel a deep loss if he is transferred. If it is possible, please annul the decision to move him, or at least suspend it until the end of the 1994/1995 education term," said spokesman for the students, Achmad Ridwan. (par)
