It is a known fact that students tend to absorb more knowledge through exposure to practical studies than in classrooms, including interesting study trips and so on. The Head Office of the Islamic Development Bank of Brunei (IDBB) yesterday afternoon opened its doors to welcome students and teachers from the Ugama Department of Sekolah Tinggi Perempuan Raja Isteri (STPRI) Secondary School.

During the visit the students and teachers were given a presentation by the Executive Business Development Division, Haji Sahroll.

The students and teachers were briefed on the roles of IDBB as well as some information regarding its well-diversified products and services and especially on the Al-Wadiah Education Account and Al Mudharabah Savings Account.

The school visit, which was the first ever to IDBB was aimed to expose students to a different study environment and to promote their basic knowledge on banking and particularly on the Islamic way of banking in Brunei.

The students comprised those from Secondary 3 to 6 who were interested to understand and enhance their knowledge on the bank's role as well as its products and services.

Before the end of the presentation, students were given a fun quiz to test their knowledge on what was briefed.

The students told the Bulletin that their visit was exciting and beneficial for them and will also help in their school reports as well as broaden their knowledge on banking.

Hj Mohd Ali Sanusi, who led the entourage expressed his gratitude to IDBB for the visit as well as for providing beneficial information for all the students and teachers.
