Sri Wahyuni ,  The Jakarta Post ,  Yogyakarta . A majority of Muslim students in state-run senior high schools in Yogyakarta province have medium to high levels of religious tolerance according to a survey conducted by the Institute for Islamic and Social Studies (LKiS) Foundation.

Presenting results of the survey in Yogyakarta on Monday, the foundation’s director, Farid Wajidi, said 40.53 percent of respondents showed low levels of tolerance, 35.13 percent showed medium levels of tolerance and the last 24.34 showed high levels of tolerance.

“We held the survey mostly out of concern regarding the decrease in nationalism and morals among young people as shown by the emergence of exclusive groups within the school milieu,” said Farid, who is also one of the survey’s three researchers.

The survey, he added, was also held in response to previous researches conducted by other institutions, including Ciciek Farkha, who found a “strengthening religious primordial phenomenon” among state-run high schools in seven provinces including Yogyakarta.
