Education

There are two universities in Tuban, Universitas Sunan Bonang and the recently established Universitas Ronggolawe, which started as a Teacher Training College named IKIP PGRI TUBAN. Voluntary Service Overseas posted a number of ELT volunteers to train local counterparts from 1989 onwards, followed by teachers from Volunteers in Asia, all warmly received as the only Westerners (called Londo, derived from the Javanese word for Belanda  Dutch) in town.
