Brunei Joins 25th ISESCO Conference In Morocco

Bandar Seri Begawan - Dato Paduka Haji Sheikh Adrian bin Sheikh Mohamad, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Education, recently attended the 25th session of the Executive Council of the Islamic, Educational and Scientific Organisation (ISESCO) in Rabat, Morocco.

During the annual meeting, the Executive Council - one of the three main organs of ISESCO - endorsed several reports that will be forwarded for adoption by the General Conference of ISESCO.

Held from Dec 24 to 26, the meeting also saw the Council appointing Dr Hadi Azizzadeh of the Islamic Republic of Iran as the new Deputy Director General of ISESCO for a three-year term of office effective Jan 1.

ISESCO also elected new Financial Control Committee members.

In a bid to establish further relations and support, the Council approved the `Programme on ISESCO's Ambassadors for Dialogue Among Cultures and Civilisations' and the `General Framework of Support Programme Towards Educational, Scientific and Cultural Institutions in Afghanistan.'

Ever since Brunei joined ISESCO in September 1985, the country's officials have actively participated in its conferences, seminars and training programmes.

In the past, Brunei hosted several regional and national programmes for ISESCO.

Last year, the Sultanate hosted an ISESCO National Workshop on `Effective Inclusion Strategies For Educators of Individuals With Special Needs,' and sent officials to a workshop on `Reforming Education and Training in the Vocational Field To Improve Employment for Sustainable Development' organised by ISESCO and UNESCO at the ISESCO Regional Office in Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
