Jogjakarta (ANTARA News) – Gusti Kanjeng Ratu (GKR)Hemas, wife of Jogjakarta governor Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, said the promotion of batik needs to be started from the education sector.<\/p>\n
\n“While batik used to be taught at schools in Jogjakarta, many schools are no longer teaching Batik,” she said here Wednesday, in connection with a Jogjakarta Batik show to be held at Taman Budaya Jogjakarta, October 25, 2014.<\/p>\n
She said batik lessons should be improved, “we don`t want foreigners claiming batik as their work of art.” This could happen if the education and the society are no longer interested in batik.<\/p>\n
“On the contrary, the government also need to help and facilitate batik designs and motives to get a copyright,” she said.<\/p>\n
Hemas said education should convince the outside world that Batik is Indonesia`s traditional trademark which other countries don`t have.<\/p>\n
“Therefore a batik school curriculum is needed in regions with a batik tradition like Jogjakarta, Solo, Pekalongan and Madura,,” she said. (*)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
