Tegal Education, Youth and Sports Affairs Agency in Central Java says it won't withdraw the books on President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono that it distributed to schools in the regency.

The books met the government's standards, Agency acting chief Edy Pramono said Thursday during a meeting with Tegal Education Council and Tegal Council's Commission IV, as quoted by kompas.com.

There were no specifications on the sorts of books that could be procured using the special funds allocated to junior high schools (DAK), Edy said.

He said the books, featuring a personal profile and thoughts of President Yudhoyono, had passed the Education Ministry's Center for Curriculum and Books selection process, so they were deemed fit for distribution in schools.

"Those books are good as a school reference,” Edy said.
