By P. Marilyn

Bandar Seri Begawan - The classrooms of the future need to adapt and evolve because as technology advances and knowledge about teaching and learning expands, the world around them is likely to change, said the Minister of Education.

He pointed out that all classrooms are different and are likely to present unique circumstances that may require teachers to try out new techniques to bring out the best in learners who may not be receptive to traditional ways of teaching. This was highlighted in his speech during the opening ceremony of the 2nd Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Institute of Education (SHBIE) Annual National Seminar and Workshop in Education or SANS WE 2006 at Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD).

"In these times of rapid and far-reaching changes in education, the development and sharing of many viewpoints and ideas have become extremely valuable," said Pehin Dato Awang Haji Abdul Rahman.

In view of this, he urged the institution to play a lead role in influencing change in education, through its research activities, dissemination of information and training programmes.

"It must keep abreast with the latest developments in education, look for evidence of best practices and collaborate with key stakeholders for policy decision and raising the quality of learning in the classrooms," added the Minister.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
