Jambi – The Jambi City Education Office has urged students not to celebrate Valentine's Day, by issuing circulars to schools reminding students not to breach ethical and moral expectations on Feb. 14.

"We will also issue circulars to urge schools to warn students not to break existing norms," Jambi City Education Office middle education division head Mulyadi said on Wednesday.

According to him, in the predominantly Muslim city, Muslims must obey religious teachings and maintain existing norms. "We hope our children will not be influenced or follow invitations that break norms," said Mulyadi.
