Abstract

During the period of democratic reform in Indonesia, more than 70 trilingual schools have been setup, which reflect the changes in Chinese education in the new era. Based on the questionnaire survey and interview conducted in the trilingual schools, we verified the following research hypothesis: Indonesian trilingual schools(ITS) can play an important role in social integration and cultural Inheritance for the Chinese descent students. We find that (1) multilingual classroom teaching, practical activities and cultural environment influence are the important variables of affecting the integration of the ethnic Chinese into the mainstream and the inheritance of Chinese culture; (2) Chinese descent students have different degrees of integration into the mainstream and cultural inheritance depending on their age, school and region; (3) in general, Chinese descent students learned the mainstream greater than Chinese cultural heritage
