No college fees, so submit coconut-College students paying tuition with coconuts

 

A college in the popular Indonesian province of Bali has started accepting fresh coconuts, plants and herbs from poor students as fees.

A total of 165 students have recently graduated from the Venus One Tourism Academy, which teaches students the tourism industry. The academy is located in Tegalalang, Where hospitality and tourism are taught. This time, under the Corona epidemic, coconuts were collected from students instead of fees. Apart from this, herbs and Sohanjana leaves have also been accepted by the students as fees.

Although the Corona epidemic had a strong economic message to the world, One Venus Academy made its students feel special and facilitated them at every level. The head of the academy, Vian Pask Adi Putra, said the students had been charged in three installments. In the first installment 50%, in the second 20% and in the third 30% fee was collected.

Students who could not pay the fees were told that they could pay for the coconut oil which was extracted and sold. Also accepted were the leaves of the Moringa tree and the leaves of Gotu kola, a famous medicinal plant. These items were mixed and made into vegetable soaps and sold on campus to raise money.

The students of One Venus Academy were divided into three groups and taught with complete care in three shifts. But strict care was taken at every opportunity for sanitation, hand washing and wearing masks. There is still a situation of corona lockdown and curfew in Indonesia.
