"The Vice President responded positively about the 2013 curriculum development and asked me to continue and prepare it optimally," Minister Mohammad Nuh said in the Vice President Office on Thursday.
According to Nuh, the Vice President said the implementation of the curriculum can be a great momentum for the improvement of the national education.
The Vice President also said that the curriculum implementation should not diminish the public trust about the course of study, Nuh said.
Mohammad Nuh together with Deputy Minister of Education and Culture Musliar Kasim met the Vice President to report the latest update of the 2013 curriculum development.
On the occasion, the Minister also reported the preparation of books as reference materials used in the Elementary School, and Junior and Senior High Schools that meet the 2013 curriculum.
The books for the 2013 curriculum were ready to be printed and be distributed after some revisions, Minister said.
The government would welcome any constructive criticism and suggestion from anyone about the 2013 curriculum, Nuh said.
"There are four months to improve the curriculum if needed before it is implemented in the new school year starting on July 15," Nuh said.
