Authorities said 91 people were listed as missing, after the Al Khoziny school building collapsed while pupils held late afternoon prayers in a mosque housed on a lower floor of a building whose upper floors were under construction.
The boarding school is in the East Java town of Sidoarjo, about 780km east of Jakarta.
By late evening on Tuesday, three bodies had been recovered, with the vast majority of presumed victims still trapped under huge slabs of concrete. Ninety-nine children and workers at the school survived.
