young and they want more education although their parents are poor. Most of their
parents are farmers, factory workers, fishermen, and becak drivers. Their wages or
salaries are too low to pay the school fees. The school fees are high especially in cities
or towns. not only in goverment schools but also in private They need money
for school fees and books. Money and books are vital importance for student.
Poor students are in need of help. Scholarships are badly needed. So it is time
for the foundations and organizations to think about this problem. Scholarships are
financial awards given to clever of qualified students to be used for tuition, board,
and books. Scholarships are given by schools, colleges, and universities as well as ,
by public and private institutions and organizations. Scholarships are needed by
qualified students of a needy family and orphans. As long as they are clever or
qualified they can get the scholarship. So scholarship is usually an annual grant to a
clever or qualified student to enable him to continue his studies. They should make
much progress in every subject they take. .
To those who have got scholarships are advised to spend the time wisely. They
should not idle away their time, because get scholarship which is limited is not easy.
Sometimes the teachers give the tasks first to choose the qualified students. If they
succeed in their examination or have good marks in every terminal, the scholarships
will continually given to them. Hopefully they become scientists or people who are
needed for the development of our country.

Informal education
Now education takes many fonns. There is formal educatioan, which is carried g
on in schools. And there is informal education, which goes on in other settings.
People are being educated all the time. learning from others and teaming by them-
selves.
To most people, education means schools. But education has many other
sources as well as home, farm, museum, television, advertising, newspaper and
magazines, sports events, and practical experience. Education also takes place in
mosques, churches and temples.
A home is a place where people cook, eat, sleep, and care for their children.
Girls can learn how to cook from their mothers, boys can learn from their fathers how
to grow vegetables, to milk a cow and to raise chickens.
Living close to the land, farm children begin to learn the way of nature before
they realize they are teaming. They watch plants develop from tiny seeds. They care
for baby animals from the moment oi birth. Farm children help both parents. Children
gather eggs from the hen coop, help with the gardening. or sort apples for marketing.
Some take the job of feeding and caring for one or more of the farm house.
Museums are places where collections of objects are preserved and displayed.
There are museum devoted to art, science. history; industry, and technology. But mu-
seums are no longer just storehouses for collections. Today nearly all museums,
large or small, carry on eductional programmers. Museums otter guided tours. lec-
tures, films, music recitals. art lessons, and other attractions, Many large museums
have extensive libraries with the help of good librarians open to qualified researches.
Television is not only a source of entertainment, but is also in major of news
and infomiantion, as well as a valuable tool for science, education, and industry.
Minutes after an event takes place, newspapers are on the streets giving de-
tails. Newspapers have one basic purpose — to get the news as quickly as possible
from those who know it to those who want to know it.

pesantren’. The children here are taught about lslamand life. They must never wor-

Galileo Galilee was born in 1564 in the city of Pisa, Italy. About twenty years
latter he attended the Univesity of Pisa. At first, he wanted to become a doctor, but

and easier to examine. This was called; the telescope. it could make things lock thirty
two times as big as they looked the eye. Galileo could see many stars through his
telescope and he began to study the stars and other things in the sky.

earth, with mountains and valleys. When he studied the stars, he discovered that the
"star” which moved, were not really stars, but worlds like the earth. He proved that
Copernicus was right: the earth and the planets indeed moved around the sun.

mistake by naming them planets.
