NU Followers Protest Full-Day School Policy

Surakarta, Central Java | Thu, August 24, 2017 | 08:02 pm

Standing for rights: Students from several

education institutions and Islamic boarding schools belonging to Indonesia's largest Islamic organization Nahdlatul
Ulama (NU) stage a rally to protest the government's full-day school policy in Indramayu, West Java, on Aug.24.
(Antara/Dedhez Anggara)

Thousands of members of mass organizations affiliated with Indonesias largest Islamic

organization Nahdlatul Ulama and students of madrasah diniyah (Islamic elementary
schools) and Quran reading classes staged a rally to protest the implementation of the
Education and Culture Ministrys full-day school policy in Surakarta, Central Java, on
Thursday.

Seven NU branch offices (PCNU) from Boyolali, Karanganyar, Klaten, Sragen,

Sukoharjo and Wonogiri participated in the rally, during which they called for the
revocation of Education and Culture Minister Regulation (Permendikbud) No.23/2017
on the implementation of the controversial policy.

Rally participants gathered at Sriwedari at around 1 p.m. before they held a four
kilometer march along Jl. Slamet Riyadi to the Bundaran Gladag traffic circle in
Surakarta.

Protesters displayed hundreds of banners and posters emblazoned with messages

showing their rejection of the full-day school policy. They sang a song entitled
Syubbanul Wathon (Love of the Homeland), which was composed by notable ulema KH
Abdul Wahab Chasbullah, as they waved Red-and-White and NU flags.
We reject the forceful implementation of the full-day school system. After this rally,
we will hold an istighosah [mass prayer] for the good of all, said rally coordinator
Muhammad Mahbub.

PCNU Karanganyar head Khusaini Hasan said the full-day school policy would
negatively affect madrasah diniyah and other religious schools, whose activities were
mostly held in the afternoon.

Madrasah will die. Children will lose their chance to get an education on noble
characters, good morals and religious values. Their time will be totally taken up
learning academics, said Khusaini. (ebf)

III. NARRATIVE

Timun Emas

Long time ago in the island of Java, Indonesia, lived a couple of farmer. They
had married for some years but they had no children. So they prayed to a monster called
Buta Ijo to give them children. Buta Ijo was a ferocious and powerful monster. He
granted their wish on one condition. When their children had grown up, they had to
sacrifice them to Buta Ijo. He liked eating fresh meat of human being. The farmers
agreed to his condition. Several months later the wife was pregnant.

She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun Emas. The
farmers were happy. Timun Emas was very healthy and a very smart girl. She was also
very diligent. When she was a teenager Buta Ijo came to their house. Timun Emas was
frightened so she ran away to hide. The farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun Emas was
still a child. They asked him to postpone. Buta Ijo agreed. He promised to come again.
The following year Buta Ijo came again. But again and again their parents said that
Timun Emas was still a child.

When the third time Buta Ijo came their parents had prepared something for
him. They gave Timun Emas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing and
salt.

Timun, take these things

What are these things?

These are your weapons. Buta Ijo will chase you. He will eat you alive. So run
as fast as you can. And if he will catch you spread this to the ground. Now go!

Timun Emas was scared so she ran as quickly as she could. When Buta Ijo
arrived she was far from home. He was very angry when he realized that his prey had
left. So he ran to chase her. He had a sharp nose so he knew what direction his prey ran.
 Timun Emas was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he could easily
catch her up. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas quickly spread the
seeds of cucumber. In seconds they turned into many vines of cucumber. The exhausted
Buta Ijo was very thirsty so he grabbed and ate them. When Buta Ijo was busy eating
cucumber Timun Emas could run away. But soon Buta Ijo realized and started running
again. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas threw her bamboo needles.
Soon they turned into dense bamboo trees. Buta Ijo found it hard to pass. It took him
some time to break the dense bamboo forest. Meanwhile Timun Emas could run farther.

Buta Ijo chased her again. When he almost catch her again and again Timun
Emas threw her dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save
himself so Timun Emas ran way. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing
her.

Finally when Timun Emas was almost caught she threw her salt. Soon the land
where Buta Ijo stood turned into ocean. Buta Ijo was drowned and died instantly. Timun
Emas was thankful to god and came back to her home.
