T

he Jakarta Education Agency is looking to build more state schools for the disabled (SLBN) in East and West Jakarta to reach the target of providing one in every district in Jakarta.

“We plan to add more SLBNs in 2018, as today the school does not exist in many places,” Jakarta Education Agency deputy head Bowo Irianto said on Tuesday.

Currently, there are only eight SLBNs in the city.

Bowo said the administration was looking for land as well as teachers for the state schools. “There is one site in East Jakarta and another one in West Jakarta that are ready,” he said as quoted by beritajakarta.com. (dev)
