Dream - School can now be enjoyed by anyone, both boys and girls. The government's free school program has made it easier for someone to receive a proper education. However, during the colonial era, only the wealthy could enjoy schooling.

Most men have the opportunity to go to school. Very few women receive education in the time before independence. The fortunate women who go to school during that time are usually born into wealthy families.

The following is a translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The old portrait of students from the past shared by the Instagram account @perfectlifeid shows a female student attending school in Jakarta in 1939."

"At that time, Indonesia was still under Dutch colonial rule, so the students who attended school were from prestigious families. In the photo, the students can be seen wearing luxurious clothes of that era. They wore knee-length dresses like Dutch women."

"Not only native children, but also there are Bule children in that class who are suspected to be from the Netherlands. They participate in learning at that school and appear to mingle closely with Indonesian female students."

The school where the female students study is also quite luxurious. The classroom building has a distinct Dutch style with ornaments of paintings of Mother Mary and vintage clocks inside.

The class window was opened wide so that the wind could enter the room and the students could study comfortably. Of course, it is different from schools nowadays which mostly use air conditioning (AC) so that students do not feel hot.

The old portrait of the female student went viral on Instagram and received many comments from netizens. "I used to be in the same class as a foreigner. But I'm happy and surprised that I was in the same class as someone from Ambon," wrote the account @hnurmustika. "Children from the lower class in their time," wrote the account @lenyyunitaaa_. "In 1939, but truly stylish," wrote the account @rila_alyussa. "Rich people who can afford to go to school like this," wrote the account @poespita87. "There's also a foreigner," wrote the account @sultan_wakatobi_01. Report: Yulia Putri.
