Education in Makassar

The School of Menara St Martinus named after the famous 8th century medieval church in the Netherlands located along Jalan Timor in Makassar City
This is a private  school for primary level students.
The education system in Indonesia is such that children aged 6–11 attend primary school, called Sekolah Dasar (SD)

The Spanish and the Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in Sulawesi  bringing along with them missionaries who eventually also started many  mission schools throughout Indonesia.

Western education in Minahasa(ethnic group of people  in North Sulawesi,Manado)whom majority are Christians started much earlier than in other parts of Indonesia.
Because the education were taught in Dutch, the Minahasans had an early advantage in the competition for government jobs and places in the colonial army.


 Most of the schools in Indonesia start with the title SD or SMP or SMA.
ZION Makassar is another private school offering primary and secondary courses.

Sekolah Menegah Pertama(SMP) denotes junior three years secondary classes while Sekolah Menegah Atas (SMA)is senior three years secondary.classes.

In Indonesia, all citizens must undertake nine years of compulsory education which consists of six years at elementary level and three in secondary level.


There are two types of education in Indonesia: formal and non-formal.
Formal education is further divided into three levels, primary, secondary and tertiary education.

Schools in Indonesia are run either by the government (negeri)or private sectors (swasta).
Some private schools  go beyond the minimum government requirements, especially with the use of English as medium of instruction or having an international-based curriculum instead of the national one.

Students in Indonesia attending government schools also need to fork out about 350,000 Rupiah monthly for school fees.
