Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali said on Monday that he would raise the idea of adding hours for religious lessons in schools with the education minister.

"I'll talk to him about increasing religious lessons," Suryadharma said, referring to Education and Culture Minister Muhammad Nuh. He was speaking after attending the commemoration of Pancasila Sanctity Day in Lubang Buaya on Monday.

"It could be integrated in the school curriculum or offered as extra lessons outside regular school hours," he added.

Suryadharma said the students needed more lesson on values and morality, primarily to prevent them from turning to bad behaviors such as violence, vandalism and using illegal drugs.

"We want parents and teachers to pay more attention to the development of students," he said, adding that teachers should search students' bags to check for weapons, rocks or other illegal stuffs.

Last week, two students died in a brawl between senior high schools SMU 6 and SMU 70 in Bulungan, South Jakarta, and between SMU Kartika Zeini and SMU Yayasan Karya 66 in Manggarai.

Police have arrested the alleged perpetrators for both incidents. One of them, a student with the initial A.D., told police he felt satisfied that he was able to retaliate.
 
The Ministry of Education and Culture on Thursday said that science and social science will be taken out of the elementary school's curriculum next year to provide children with less school time.

The ministry said that the new curriculum would emphasize basic mathematics, the Indonesian language, religious studies and patriotism.
