Secondary Students Urged To Take Up Science Stream
By Liza Mohd

Bandar Seri Begawan - One of the concerns of the Ministry of Education is the lack of students in Secondary Four and Five pursuing 'science stream', said by STEP Centre Acting Chief Awg Hj Metali bin Hj Mirasan, who was the chief guest at Sekolah Menengah Sayyidina Ali Students Award ceremony yesterday morning.

In his speech, he urged students to participate in programmes or activities organised by STEP Centre such as robotic competitions, Olympiad, seminars and student exchange programmes among others. STEP was formed in 1999 with the objective to promote science, mathematics, ICT and environmental subjects.

He added that on April 21, six students will leave for Shanghai to participate in the 8th Asian Physics Olympiad from April 21 till 28. Two of them are SMSA students, Awg Md Yazid bin Hj Md Yakup and Dyg Lap Lee Shen.

Meanwhile, school principal Cheong Huat Joo in his welcoming address said that SMSA public examination results showed an increase in passes for PMB examinations rising from 57.4 per cent in 2005 to 62.07 per cent last year.

The school principal noted that the success of students relies on the effort and commitment from the school such as its teaching resources, motivation, observation and attentiveness by respective parents or guardians towards the development, progress and discipline of their children. It also depends on the students' awareness and attitude towards values and importance of knowledge. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
