SHAH ALAM: The ongoing efforts of Berita Harian and DRB-Hicom to host high impact education sessions show that corporate bodies are concerned about the development of local communities.
The programmes, which support the aspirations of the Malaysian Education Blueprint (MEB) 2013-2025 to ensure the quality of education, is also an effective platform for producing future leaders.
Education Ministry curriculum development division director Sazali Ahmad said the seminars organised by the two bodies would reflect positively on the future of students, who would become the leaders of the country and would be able to drive the development of any organisation to a higher level.
“These leaders will hold positions in public and private services in the future, therefore they should take advantage of this opportunity as part of their final preparation before sitting for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examination.
“Congratulations BH for continuing to set up platforms to strengthen students' preparations for this most important of school examinations,” he said when opening the BH-DRB Hicom 2017 SPM seminar at the EON Bhd Headquarters Complex, here.
Also present were DRB-Hicom education director Datuk Mohamed Hazlan Mohamed Hussain and human capital chief Muhammad Rizal Md Zain and BH executive editor (news, feature, and digital) Datuk Ahmad Zaini Kamaruzzaman.
Meanwhile, Hazlan said such programmes were able to expose students to various thinking techniques, and teach them different ways of processing information and solving challenging problems, especially in a world of digital technology.
He said it was hoped that the latest learning techniques delivered at the inaugural seminar would help participants get good results achieve in their SPM early next month.
“We see that today’s education is far more challenging than ever before, based on current needs, so learning can change the way they think, motivate them as well as enhance interpersonal skills and collaboration.
“We are committed to supporting the government in enhancing students’ academic performances in line with the needs of the 21st century and realising the aspirations of the Education Ministry in ensuring the best quality of education,” he said.
