Wardiman supports Green Movement

JAKARTA (JP): Minister of Education and Culture Wardiman Djojonegoro has called on all offices and schools under his ministry, particularly those located in the capital, to help make the Green Movement a success in order to preserve the environment and prevent floods.

"School teachers should spearhead the movement and make their students aware of the importance of the movement," Wardiman was quoted as saying by Antara Wednesday.

Planting as many trees as possible is essential to the movement, which was launched by the government two years ago.

Wardiman said it is high time for students, from elementary to high school, to lend their participation. "Teachers should explain to their students what they can do to further the movement."(bas)
