STUDYING IN INDONESIA

Indonesia stretches across the world’s largest archipelago, consisting of 17,000 volcanic islands, 11,000 of which are uninhabited. The islands straddle the equator, making them mostly hot and humid, although several Indonesian mountains rise so high above the surrounding tropical jungle that they support ice fields. The country’s motto is “unity in diversity”—appropriate for a nation whose population includes some 300 ethnic groups speaking more than 500 languages and dialects. The majority of Indonesians are Muslim, but whatever their backgrounds or religions, Indonesians are typically sociable and friendly.

School
Indonesia is a diverse country, including the socioeconomic levels of its communities. Wearing a school uniform is a way to eliminate economic disparities among students in schools, and therefore students will need uniforms, which will be provided by host families.

LIVING IN INDONESIA

Lifestyle and Family Living
Indonesia contains a spectrum of all Asian cultures, races and religions. There are more than 300 ethnic groups who speak an estimated 583 languages. Appropriately, the country’s motto is “Unity in diversity.”

Dress and Appearance
People who live in cities generally adopt Western dress. Regionally, there are many styles of traditional dress, but most women wear a sarong (wraparound skirt or dress) and a kebaya, a fitted blouse. When participating in ceremonies, men often wear a batik shirt and a sarong skirt, along with a songkok, a black Muslim cap. Women are expected to keep their knees, midriffs and upper arms covered.
