Indonesia to remove ‘Science’ and English from primary curriculum

[Mosby]

Learning about science in school may soon be a thing of the past for primary students in Indonesia. The government wants the subject removed so more time can be spent on things like religion and nationalism. But teachers say the move is a step backwards. Al Jazeera’s Step Vassen reports from Jakarta.

3. Will they offer advanced hunting and gathering too?

How about fire building and arrowhead making?
Surely they will offer graduate seminars in the proper use of the digging stick when grubbing for edible roots.

5. oil-rich country not educating its own future scientists?
