“20 percent of the population of the school has to be Balinese. People are coming forward from all over the world to support the Balinese Scholarship Fund, because these kids will be Bali’s next green leaders.”

These kids, families, school owners and teachers fly halfway around the world to attend a “green” school? Sounds a lot like drinking evian in bali with a coconut shell cup and calling it green.

What about the local kids? With the $13.000 school fee, 5-10 times more expensive that top tier schools in indonesia and 20 times standard schools’ fees, almost all but the richest families can only dream of attending it.
