The Learning Tree School will be the first in the country to provide certificates in Information Communication Technology (that are internationally recognised) for their students at an early age. This initiative was officiated yesterday, based on the memorandum of understanding signed between Kemuda and The Learning Tree School on the school's premises.

The documents were signed by Hajah Mahani bte Haji Osman, the Principal and Safa Abdullah Khan, the Marketing, Business Development Officer of Kemuda.

Also present to witness the signing ceremony was Dato Paduka Haji Abdul Razak bin Haji Muhammad, the Chairman of the Kemuda Institute.

The Principal also made brief welcoming remarks. She mentioned that the introduction of the Cambridge Starters Awards in ICT scheme is a result of the cooperation between the two aforementioned local organisations.

Furthermore, she added, it was done to encourage participation of students in this scheme as the cost of each level of examination will be subsidised by $35.00.

With such incentives, the school is being proactive to move forward and make contributions in sustaining and supporting the nation's ambitions of ICT.

She also explained that this was also evident in the school's online presence at www.learningtreebrunei.com.

The Bulletin has been told that the lecturer for the scheme in this school will be Mr Ricky Manalo. He is one of the personnel from the Kemuda Institute, with seven years of experience in this field.
