By request, our tour guide arranged for us a visit to this primary school in the village Usor Tolang. We were allowed to look inside and there was a class present. The children had a good time and were singing songs for us. To prtect the children, we took pictures of them but I won't upload them here. There was also a room with old school materials which showed us how the lesoons looked like in the past. The school is still operational. Afterwards, we heard that the visit to the school was arranged by the village chief and our money was put in use for the iprovement of the village.
On the official Inonseian website of the school (https://dapo.kemdikbud.go.id/sekolah/EB1CA6AA2C879793885B) it states that the school was founded in 1910 and that the current school building was built in 1941.
