Question 28 to 30 refer to the following text

Culture and Education Minister Muhadjir Effendy’s controversial plan to extend school hours for
elementary and high school students will have a positive impact on students – in terms of both academic
achievement and personal development, parents have said.
Wiwin Darwinah, a parent from Ciputat, South Tangerang, said only expensive private schools offered full-
day school at present and that Muhadjir’s idea would provide a better education for children of low-income
families, who could only afford to send their children to public schools.
“Students from rich families can also afford to pay private teachers for extra lessons, while the poor can’t
afford it,” said Wiwin, who is a mother of a sixth-grader and ninth-grader, both of whom attend public schools.
Meanwhile, Mustiana Dewi from Bekasi, West Java said that her daughter, who studied at a private junior high
school in Bekasi, took more classes at her full-day school. She added that the program encouraged her daughter
to spend more time on positive activities at school instead of hanging out with friends at malls.
Critics say many public schools are not yet ready to implement the plan and that it is only appropriate for
schools in urban areas, particularly as Muhadjir has said that full-day school would encourage parents to send their
students to school by themselves and pick them up on their way home from work. (rez/bbn)
