By Saliha POKMS Haji Tarif & Sukri HS Hj Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Department of Schools, through the Primary Education, Secondary Education and Teachers' Recruitment and Development Sections, recently organised a half-day briefing session for the new teachers, which took place at the Dewan Penghayatan, Institut PerkhidmatanAwam (Civil Service Institute) in Rimba, Gadong. The guest of honour at the briefing was Cikgu Juna bin Jumat, the Acting Assistant Director of Schools, on behalf of the Director of Schools.

In his remarks, Cikgu Juna stressed upon the new teachers on the importance of being "more dynamic and creative".

He also advised the new teachers to act as "intermediaries" between their schools and parents, in discussing matters relating to learning while helping students in their weak subjects.

The Head of Teachers' Recruitment and Development, Cikgu Pg Othman bin Pg Daud, in his welcoming speech earlier told the new teachers not to be "picky" on their postings. He advised them to "contribute their expertise and abilities" to the fullest, not only for overall school development but also for their students' individual performances.

The briefing was attended by 74 new teachers who graduated recently from UBD. 67 of them graduated with a Diploma in Primary Education and will be posted to primary schools throughout Brunei, while the rest received Certificates in Lower Secondary Science, and will be posted to secondary schools or colleges.

The briefing was aimed to prepare the teachers on their new career. The session included talks from representatives of the Department of Administrations and Services, as well as the Assistant Director of Primary Education and Secondary Education. The session was also attended by senior Education Ministry officers.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
