Parents Ready To Send 2,400 Kids Back To School In Temburong

Dayang Rustiah Binti Rasyid

Temburong – School term for 2,400 children in the country begins this Saturday.

Parents and guardians are busy buying school books and stationery for their children.

In the Temburong District, the preparation has begun much earlier to avoid the rush after the school term holiday.

Some parents are still making last-minute preparation for the upcoming school term.

Several mothers said they prefer to buy school materials in the district as the prices offered there are not much different from those in Bandar Seri Begawan.

According to Dayang Siti Nur Fatimah, she had done the school preparation since two weeks ago.

She said she will only go to the capital if the school stationery items are not available in the district.

She hopes more bookstores will open in the district so that residents there will have more choices.

She also wishes the district would have shops selling school uniforms, including those for Arabic schools.

Dayang Rustiah Binti Rasyid also agreed with Dayang Siti Nur Fatimah on buying school stationery in the district.

She prefers to buy the school materials in the district due to time constraint and the inconvenience in carrying goods purchased from elsewhere.

With the number of schoolchildren in the district increasing each year, she also hopes that more shops will open there to cater to their needs. -- Courtesy of Radio Television Brunei
