Tangerang City project to displace 1,500 elementary students

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Tue, 01/04/2011 11:52 AM | Jakarta

The Tangerang administration will relocate 1,500 students from two favorite elementary schools to make way for the construction of the planned Tangerang City super block in Cikokol, Banten.

The students from the two elementary schools, SD 4 and SD 5 Sukasari Tangerang, will be moved to a building formerly occupied by the public works agency situated 2 kilometers away.

“It is up to the mayor [Wahidin Halim] when the relocation will begin,” Zainuddin, the head of the Tangerang Municipal Education Agency, told tempointeraktif.com on Tuesday.

Zainuddin added that the developers of the super block had prepared compensation for the elementary schools in the form of land and a new building.

However, he said, the administration had preferred for the students move to the used building since it was in the Cikokol education and office zone, near many other private and public schools and universities.
