Mamuju, West Sulawesi (ANTARA News)- Australia built ten junior secondary schools in Mamuju regency, West Sulawesi province, under a cooperation scheme with the Indonesian government.

The head of the Middle Education Division of the Mamuju regency education agency said on Monday Australia under the school development cooperation project with the Indonesian government may build more schools in Mamuju.

The schools which had been built under the cooperation project in 2008 and 2009, were those in Bonehau subdistrict (two), and one each in Simkep, Papalang, Sampaga, Tobadak, Topoyo, Korossa, Tommo, and Tapalang subdistricts.

The schools were also equipped with prayer facilities, libraries, and labarotories.

Under the cooperation scheme with the Indonesian government, Australia this year planned to build four more schools in each in Simkep, Papalang, Tommo and Tapalang subdistricts.

"The program was preceded by the Mamju administration by holding a workshop involving shool masters, school committees, school supervisors, teachers and parents of the students, for an evaluation of the quality of education under the cooperation project between the Australian and Indonesian governments," he said.
