Govt to omit English from primary schools
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Thu, October 11 2012, 3:28 PM

As part of a curriculum overhaul that will come into effect next year, English will no longer be a subject taught in elementary schools, says Deputy Education and Culture Minister Musliar Kaslim.

He said that the omission aimed to give ample time for students to master the Indonesian language first before diving into foreign languages.

聯Elementary schools won聮t have English lessons because [students] haven聮t even learned to understand the Indonesian language yet,聰 Musliar said on Wednesday. 聯Now, even some kindergarten students take English courses. That聮s haram [prohibited by Islamic law]. I pity the kids.聰

He stressed that all schools had to implement the change in their curriculum. The ministry, however, is still mulling whether private schools will be allowed to teach English to their students as a secondary subject or not, according to him.

Only Six Lessons for Elementary Students as English Also Gets the Ax

Ax???? I think a few extra lessons may be in order at the globe

Following news that science and social studies would be largely scrubbed from the nation聮s elementary school curriculum, the government has decided to make young Indonesians聮 lessons even simpler by scrapping English language courses 聴 all subjects said to be unduly burdening children.

Blithering idiots like this will hold Indonesia back.

I have read the article, scrapping English and science means the teachers would lose their jobs. The new problems will appear as they have to relocate the teachers to somewhere else and it absolutely will not be easy...

A number of unemployment in indonesia will start increasing, probably..

I'm unsure why this poster was banned but the post is correct.
What will Indonesia do with all the English and science teachers?

I suspect there will be a massive increase in demand for external English courses, maybe with schools setting up their own "ex school" courses that would be compulsory for students attending that school.

I don't suppose smaller towns and villages where English teachers are generally at a much lower level will be effected but better SMPs will have a of of trouble getting quality students.

So much more national plus - it'll be more like national minus if this stupidity comes to pass.
