The Social Affairs Ministry says it supports the Education and Culture Ministry’s policy to close the kindergarten at Jakarta International School (JIS), following the alleged sexual assault involving one of its students.

Based on the policy, kindergarten students from the academic year of 2013-2014 are allowed to complete their academic year ended but the kindergarten is prohibited from receiving new students for the next academic year.

"Measures taken by the Education and Culture Ministry to close the school are proper enough,” Social Affairs Minister Salim Segaf Al Jufri in Padang, West Sumatra, on Wednesday, as quoted by Antara news agency.

The minister said classroom assistance was needed for students aged between 4 and 6 years. “Assistance is very crucial in the teaching and learning process of children of this age,” Salim said.

It is hoped that children that need it can have counselling. “There should be a healing process started so that they will not be traumatized,” said Salim.

A six-year-old kindergarten student was reported to have been sexually assaulted by several cleaners at the school. The case was reported to the Jakarta Police on March 24.

The police have questioned 11 witnesses, two of them – Agun Iskandar and Virgiawan Amin aka Awan – have been named suspects.

They are charged with violating Law No. 23/2002 on Child Protection with a maximum penalty of 15-years imprisonment.(ebf)

My Opinion

I also strongly support the actions taken by the Ministry of Education and Culture to close the kindergarten at Jakarta International School (JIS) because they have been shown to have no permission to set up a kindergarten. they only have permission to establish elementary, junior high, and high school.

I also agree with the policy that the kindergarten students from the academic year of 2013-2014 are allowed to complete their academic year ended, because if you suddenly terminated the learning activity, then sorry for the parents who have to pay for this.

I think a decent jakarta international school kindergartens were closed because they are less responsible in solving this problem , they do not move quickly impressed even the cover of the media. In fact I think all of this is the responsibility of the school, because I know that the parents are not allowed to accompany their children in school, so it is definitely the parents can not supervise their children. Everything has been entrusted by parents to the school. So schools should tighten supervision to students like putting Closed circuit television ( CCTV ) near the toilet so that anyone can see people coming out and into the toilet. I think even since kindergarten so this is not a problem to put the Closed circuit television in the toilet, because as we know that the bathroom is a wet and slippery, so dangerous for kindergarten students when going to the toilet alone. And the teacher should not let children kindergarten to go to the toilet alone.

I think Jakarta Police should be faster to handle this problem, and should be able to check out the other workers at the jakarta international school, because there may be other suspects.
