Indonesian Ministry of Education put up a database of students online – public, private and religious schools, including at least some international and expat schools. It’s a work in progress designed to capture all of 36 million students nationwide, searchable by region and attaches the excel files containing the student details – names, date and place of birth and addresses. I’m not sure how many students are presently included – there are hundreds, if not thousands of XLS files, some of them a few thousands names. My estimate is there are some 1 million names at this point. Some underground lists have already circulating compiled Excel tables from the separate files but anyone could do it themselves if they wish to do so. A casual glance on the blogosphere seems to suggest that the database is indeed, very much current and accurate. (my previous post here includes links to some of the outraged parents at the bottom).
