INDONESIA SENDS BEST STUDENTS TO APHO IN TAIWAN
Jakarta, April 15 (ANTARA) - Indonesia will send eight of its best senior high school (SMA) students to the 11th Asian Physics Olympiad (APhO) which will be held in Taipei, Taiwan, from April 23 to May 1, 2010.
Basic and Secondary Education Management Direcor General of the National Education Ministry, Suyanto said when seeing off the team in Jakarta Thursday that the selected students are expected to become the pride of Indonesia by grabbing gold medals.
However, winning gold medals was not the main purpose, because more important is gaining experience in mixing with the delegations of other countries by exchanges of skills.
He said further that those who won a gold medal will receive a Satyalancana Wira Karya award from the President.
"The gold medalists will also enjoy a scholarship from the state for completion of their study up to the doctorate anywhere you like, like Harvard, or MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)," he said.
Leader of the team Hendra Kwee said the strongest rivals of Indonesia are Taiwan and China.
He said in last year`s event in Thailand, the Indonesia team grabbed only two golds. This year they are trying to grab two golds.
The Indonesian delegation consists of eight students, namely Ahmad Ataka Awwalur Rizqi of SMAN 3 in Yogyakarta, Ali Ikhsanul Qauli (SMAN 1 in Pamekasan, East Java), Christian George Emor (SMA Lokon St.Nikolaus in Tomohon, North Sulawesi), David Giovanni (SMAK Penabur Gading in Serpong, Tangerang, Banten), Evan Laksono (SMAK IPEKA in Tomang, Jakarta), Kevin Soedyatmiko (SMAN 12 in Jakarta), Muhammad Sohibul Maromi (SMAN 1 in Pamekasan, East Java), and Podianko Surya (SMAK 1 in Jakarta).
