tray with glasses, and my friend filled them with ice and soft drinks. Then, I

Kids Die, 438 Suffers from Malnutrition in NTB this year.
Cases
of malnutrition among children under 5 years old in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB)
had claimed 20 lives this year as of July, according to data from the
provincial health agency.
The agency also reported that as of
July, at least 438 toddlers suffered from
malnutrition.
The agency’s spokesperson, M.Ismed
Nurmadhani, said that the real figure for 2014 was higher because the agency
had not yet finished verifying all the data from the province; eight regencies
and two municipalities.
He said updating the malnutrition
data was slow because all the cases up had to be verified to be certain they
were malnutrition and hot something else.
Agency data also showed there were
645 cases of malnutrition in 2013, 32 of which ended up in fatality. In 2012,
there were 767 cases, 23 of whom died, while in 2011, there were 1,092 cases,
42 of whom died.
Ismed blamed the condition on poor parenting
and a lack of nutrition for children. “ The toddlers suffering from
malnutrition do not automatically come from poor families. The cause is not
just poverty,” he said.
Ismed also said that 40 % percent of
the malnutrition cases that ended in fatality were because of accompanying
disease, such as tuberculosis, acute respiratory infections, and hydrocephalus.

Huge, solid chunks called tectonic plates make up Earth’s crust. These
plates float on top of Earth’s molten mantle. A volcano is formed when magma
from Earth’s mantle breaks through the crust. It can come through weak spots in
the plates or ooze out from the edges. Once the magma breaks through the crust,
it is called lave. Lava flows downhill and hardens when it cools.
Lava flow destroys everything in its
path. Volcanic mudflows are mudslides that can bury plants, animals, and
people. Sometimes bits of rock fly out of a volcano at speeds of more than 150
km.hr. these fragments, when combined with hot ash and gases, create a
pyroclastic flow. Clouds of dust and ash fall to the ground after an eruption.
These clouds are harmful to animals and humans. They can ruin habitats and
crops. They can damage transportation and communication systems. The clouds
block out some of the sun’s rays and this can affect the weather.

Education
has an important role in our life. There are educational systems all over the
world. Most Asian countries, for example, have different educational system
compared to the systems used in Western
countries because educational systems are reflections of culture and
society.
Educational systems in asia reflect
how group work and traditional are more valued than individualism. Therefore, children in Asian countries, such
as China, Japan, Korea and Indonesia help each other in doing their assignments.
They learn the social skills of cooperation or working together.
Additionally, the learning
activities are more formal because it is teacher centred since the students’s
role is to listen to, recite and memorize what the teachers. Therefore, there
is not much interaction between students and the teacher and among students
themselves. The Asian educational systems also require students to stay longer
at school to study. The educational system creates discciplined students with
self control.
There are, however, disadvantages of
the Asian educational systems. Information that is memorised will be forgotten.
Students are also not familiar with expressing their ideas and opinions. Thus,
they don’t have the spirit of initiators, causing them to be less creative.
Understanding the benefits and
drawbacks of Asian educational system, the government should reconsider the
system of education used in our country.

Indonesia’s 2013 Curriculum Gets an Overhaul
Jakarta.
The Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, Anies Baswedan, said
controversial 2013 school curriculum would only be implemented in a limited
number school across Indonesia.
“ The bottom line is that we still
want to develop the curriculum, but we don’t want to include all schools in Indonesia in the pilot
project,” Anies said on Friday.
The 2013 curriculum has been in place
for the past two years despite widespread criticism from teachers, parents and
education experts alike.

country have adopted the curriculum
since 2013, while others have only been following it for one semester.
Schools that have already implemented
the controversial system are encouraged
to continue the program, while those who are still new to it are allowed to
revert back to their previous methodology.
According to Anies, to abruptly change
the routine of 6,326 schools that
followed the 2013 curriculum since its conception would be disruptive to their
students’ studies.
The 2013 curriculum has drawn the ire of
the education sector, both private and state regulated, for eliminating several
crucial subject, including sciences, English and social studies for elementary
level, replacing them with additional hours of Indonesian language, national
ideology and islam. Both education exprerts and the public argued the new
system of subject would only be detrimental to Indonesian students, making them
less competative at the international level.
