est Java’s Pancawaluya character education program for delinquent students, which involves a boot camp at a military installation, will continue this year despite budget efficiency measures.
The program is aimed at students who need special treatment because they are involved in delinquent activities, such as smoking, fighting and brawls.
“Those who need special treatment will be sent to military barracks,” West Java Education Agency head Purwanto said in Bandung on Thursday, as quoted by kompas.com.
“Students enrolled in this program are those who have repeatedly conducted violations during their school terms. So, the program is not aimed at first offenders.”
The education agency uses the Si Palawa (Pancawaluya Student Application System) app, which records violations.
Pancawaluya refers to the five Sundanese traits of cageur, bageur, bener, pinter and singer, or healthy, courteous, honest, smart and skillful.
“The violations will be accumulated and there are levels of violations. The are several phases, if it is red, the students will be referred to the special treatments,” Purwanto said.
