Tentang Sekolah Pah Tsung

The Pah Tsung School was first established at the beginning of Indonesian independence around 1945. The idea originated from a group of Chinese descendants who saw that many children and young people were not attending school at the time.

To that end, a high school was opened, with a majority of students of Chinese descent. The name Pah Tsung is an abbreviation of Pah Tsen Tsung Sio, where Pah Tsen means Batavia City and Tsung Sio means Junior High School. Thus, Pah Tsung means Junior High School located in Batavia City. Later, when Batavia was renamed Jakarta, the school was renamed Yah Tsung, an abbreviation of Yah Tsen Tsung Sio. Yah Tsen means Jakarta City. Thus, Yah Tsung means Junior High School located in Jakarta City.
