Tangerang students get holiday

TANGERANG: As 10 of the 25 schools in Tangerang were deluged
last week, students had to stay at home, waiting for the water to
recede. They began to return to school on Tuesday.

"Most students are still cleaning the mud and rubbish from
their respective schools," said Tangerang municipal education
agency chief Nana Sukarna, on Wednesday.

During the one-week flood that in certain areas in Tangerang
reached a depth of two meters, seven elementary and three junior
high schools closed.

The seven elementary schools comprised state schools
SDN 5 in Petir, SDN Gebang Raya in Jatiuwung, SDN Periuk Raya
Permai and SDN Perum Taman Cibodas and private schools Total
Persada, Kuncup Mekar and Baitul Akham.

The three junior high schools were SLTPN 11 Larangan, SLTPN 15
Pondok Arum and SLTPN 18 Perum Cipondoh. -- JP
