Answering your questions Chari, actually their winnings do not depend on the schools they have attended. I know exactly some of them didn't come to the class regularly, many times even not taking the exams, but the school gave them straight A's on their report books.

These kids will live and work outside of Indonesia once they are grown up. There are no future big enough for them in Indonesia, unless a dramatic change happens in Indonesia.

One of the more important info missed in this news is the name of the schools where these winners came from. Would it be possible for you to add this info in the news? We, parents definitely want to know what are the good schools in Jakarta considering the proliferation of so many schools (national plus, int'l schools, etc.)charging exorbitant fees when you're not even sure of the quality of education they provide.
