MoE Launches New Standard for Local Educators

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 07:56 PM PDT

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN:To ensure that teachers have attained the level of knowledge and skills required, the Ministry of Education has introduced a framework for Brunei Teachers' Standards (BTS). According to the Minister of Education, Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Kerna Dato Seri Setia Dr Hj Awg Abu Bakar Hj Apong, the standardisation is to ensure that local educators are following the guidelines for professional teachers who practise life-long learning and always equip themselves with information on current developments, ©BRUDIRECT.COM reported.

The Minister of Education in his address at the Launching Ceremony of the Brunei Teachers' Standard, stressed that BTS is a benchmark for assessing the educational landscape in the Sultanate, which is hoped to be able to further upgrade the teaching quality or standard of teachers in the country.

The Minister went on to say that Brunei Teachers' Standard (BTS) will take the latest form and is capable of raising the teaching standard by providing a high and challenging perception to students. Its more comprehensive and compact contents and methods would certainly change the way educators teach while at the same time enabling students to learn in a more organised manner.

Brunei Teachers' Standards (BTS) underline teachers' professional knowledge and skill and the aspect of Professional Engagement as its main core elements. Through Professional Knowledge and Skill, teachers are required to involve students in challenging intellectual learning, by identifying the students' level of knowledge, capability and efficiency.

Such approach involves learning that is based on a well-organised method, adapting learning with the students' needs by knowing their learning problems as well as making effective assessments. Through Professional Involvement, teachers are required to adopt the Best Practices that can give a positive impact to the students' learning. Teachers are expected to show that their profession is of high quality or standard.

The ceremony also saw the launch of several training sessions on Brunei Teachers' Standard which will begin tomorrow in groups, and further extended until February 2015. Also during this ceremony, BTS posters were handed over to zone representatives of government primary schools, secondary school and college clusters, and government institutions of vocational and technical education as well as Heads of private schools zone. Also present was the Deputy Minister of Education, Dato Seri Setia Hj Awg Yusoff Hj Ismail.

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: The Get-Together and Junjung Ziarah which held every year is very significant to the people of Brunei Darussalam. It's a golden opportunity to show the utmost gratitude for the peace and harmony under reign of His Majesty's the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, Brudirect reported.

The Brunei-Muara District was the last district to welcome His Majesty for the Get Together and Junjung Ziarah in conjunction with His Majesty's birthday celebrations at the districts this year. Sunday being a holiday gave the rakyat and other residents in the district the much awaited opportunity to meet and greet the Monarch in a cordial carefree atmosphere.

The Junjung Ziarah with His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, was the climax of His Majesty's visits to the districts during His Majesty's 68th Birthday celebrations.

Accompanying His Majesty during the Junjung Ziarah were His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Mohamed Bolkiah, His Royal Highness Prince Haji Jefri Bolkiah, His Royal Highness Prince 'Abdul Malik and His Royal Highness Prince 'Abdul Mateen.

The great wisdom in leading and managing the administration of the country has made His Majesty a very loved and respected monarch. In education, His Majesty is very concerned towards all sectors of the field especially to fulfil national socio-economic needs and prosperity. Among the measures taken was the introduction of a Scheme of Service for Public Institutes of Higher Study Academic Work Force, intended to attract top quality and world class academics. Apart from that, His Majesty also consented to the Brunei Technical Education Institute Order to lead the development of technical and vocational education.

The Education Loan Facility Scheme introduced to help students further their studies at local or foreign institutes also reflects His Majesty's concern in matters of education. The scheme again shows His Majesty's wisdom and vision in placing the development of education and human capital as the core of national development.

The participation of thousands of rakyat and residents at the get together and junjung ziarah clearly showed how much the people love and admire His Majesty, whom they refer to as the people's monarch. At the same time, it was an opportunity for the people to personally convey congratulations and thanks to His Majesty. His Majesty's blessed reign and leadership that adhere to the teachings of Islam have brought peace and prosperity to this nation known to the world as Brunei Darussalam – The Abode of Peace.

The strong and harmonious tie between the Monarch and the people was evident at the gathering, which also attracted much praise from the international community. It's only befitting that the traditional event be continued and maintained for the future generations to ensure globalisation does not erode the people's love for the Monarch, religion, race and country. His Majesty's unrelenting efforts to ensure continued prosperity to be enjoyed by the future generations is praised and strongly supported by the people.

His Majesty and members of the Royal Family then consented to proceed on foot to the Dewan Persantapan Lapau for the luncheon. Along the route to the Dewan Persantapan Lapau, His Majesty consented to receive the Junjung Ziarah (greetings) from students and pupils who lined the path, welcoming their Monarch. The Get Together and Junjung Ziarah was a manifestation of the unique and strong relation between the ruler and the people, a close tie that is the pillar of national peace, stability and harmony. The relation is also the symbol of unity and cooperation.

To invoke blessings for the event, the doa selamat was read by the Shari'ah Subordinate Court Judge, Pengiran Haji Badaruddin bin Pengiran Haji Abdul Rahman.

Before departing from the hall, His Majesty consented to receive the Junjung Ziarah from the members of His Majesty's 68th Birthday Celebrations Executive Committee. The solid bond of affection and love between the Monarch and the people is the backbone of the country's peace, stability, prosperity and harmony.
