Teachers, staff, and students gather in a Balinese schoolyard in three clusters to salute the Indonesian flag and sing patriotic songs to celebrate Independence Day (August 17, 1945). A school building is visible in the background, and a couple of scouts with a yellow flag are visible at left.
At Indonesian public schools, children wear uniforms and often meet together before classes for patriotic ceremonies and sports activities. The students here wear white blouses and dark blue skirts or pants, indicating that they are in middle school.
