Briefing On Al-Quran Specialisation Course In KL
By Norizan Murshid

Bandar Seri Begawan - A briefing was held yesterday morning at the Institut Tahfiz Al-Quran Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah in Jalan Tutong for sixth-form students who are applying for a diploma course at the Darul Quran Jakim in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia next month.

The briefing - delivered by Ustaz Haji Abd Hafeiz Hj Mohd Noh, the assistant principal for Special Duties Officer at the institute - was attended by the other two assistant principals - Cikgu Hj Awang (administration) and Ustaz Mohd Lazim (academics) and parents of prospective students.

Ustaz Hj Abd Hafeiz said there is a chance that most of the students could continue their diploma in Al-Quran Memorising at the overseas institute and the purpose of the briefing was to inform the parents of the advantages of pursuing such course.

He added that by pursuing the Al-Quran specialisation course in Kuala Lumpur next month they will save at least three years where they can finish their tertiary studies within six years from now.

"However some parents may have other alternatives for their children. Therefore, it is up to them to decide what is best for their offspring," he said adding that the students will be on government scholarship iii pursuing the course.

He said between now and next month when officers from Darul Quran Jakim will come here to conduct interviews for prospective students, parents can make a decision based on what he told them.

Students from the Brunei institute have been pursuing their diploma course in Darul Quran Jakim over the last three years.

Last year, six students applied to join the KL institute and all of them were accepted.

"There is a chance that most of our students, if not all, could be accepted again this year. This depends on the overseas quota for foreign students at the KL institute," he said.

Parents were also allowed to ask questions. A student who is currently studying at the institute was also present to share his experience in pursuing his studies at the Darul Quran Jakim. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
