REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, SURABAYA -- The Surabaya city education office has launched a curriculum that allows parents or guardians to take active part in their children's education.

"We are adopting a curriculum which involves parents' active participation, both at school and home," head of the office's elementary education curriculum section, Munaiyyah, said here on Saturday.

The parents' role is not merely limited to the need for school facility and infrastructure, she said on the sidelines of a contest, bazaar and charity activity at the elementary school, SD Khadijah here.

Munaiyyah represented Surabaya Mayor Tri Rismaharini who could not show up at the event for unavoidable reasons.
