In 2006, there were 101 Pondok schools or
private Islamic boarding schools focusing on the teaching of Islam,
and 47 schools that teach Islam as well as general or vocational
education.
Non-formal education, focusing on vocational
training and the teaching of Islam, is also provided in some schools.
Muslims of all ages embrace Islamic doctrine as their way of life,
and religious education is provided informally from childhood by
families and nearby Islamic religious institutions.
3) Educational Provision by Christian Religious
Institutions
Christian denominations play an important role in
providing formal, non-formal and informal education to the Christian
communities.
There are only 2 schools that focus only on the
teaching of Christianity.
As for general education, both the Roman Catholic
Diocese and Protestant denominations operate general education
schools for their followers and others.
