As an Islamic institution of higher learning responsible for producing knowledgeable and charismatic Muslim Teachers, the Seri Begawan Teachers University College, KUPU SB, has been urged to handle very carefully and comprehensively all matters relating to management and administration, of religious education in general and religious teaching in particular. The call was made to ensure that the college's vision and mission will be achieved. The Minister of Religious Affairs, made the call at the official opening of the 2nd Religious Teachers Seminar this morning.
Yang Berhormat Pehin Jawatan Luar Pekerma Raja Dato Seri Utama Doctor Ustaz Haji Awang Mohamad Zain said KUPU SB needs an efficient, effective and dynamic management in order to meet the various forms of modern life demands in this globalisation era. In the Islamic education context, Yang Berhormat added, such management is needed to fulfill religious obligations for the prosperity of the Muslim ummah in this country in particular, and mankind in general. Muslim educators, therefore, bear a heavy responsibility to produce and implement a form of religious management and administration, particularly in the field of Religious Teaching. Yang Berhormat also touched on the objective of KUBU SB's establishment which includes producing efficient manpower in Islamic teaching education in order to develop a knowledgeable, pious and well-disciplined community and nation, as well as upholding Islam as the country's official religion. The Minister said that KUPU SB must work hard and with full commitment to achieve its objectives, because the university college graduates will face an ever-changing era. Yang Berhormat hoped that graduate teachers would ensure that their students would not slip away from their identity as devout Muslims who adhere to the teachings of the Al-Quran and As-Sunah.
Three working papers were discussed this morning. One was entitled, "Religious Teachers Training in Brunei Darussalam: Contribution, Challenge and Hope" by the Deputy Ra'es of the University College, Doctor Haji Abdullah bin Haji Awang Lampoh. The discussion focused on the religious teachers' training institution under the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The institution's major contribution is providing trained teachers to teach at schools under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Ministry of Education and the private sector. The institution also faces challenges to improve the quality of trained religious teachers.
More than 400 participants are attending the two-day seminar organised jointly by the Education Faculty and the KUPU SB Post-Graduate Learning and Research Centre. The seminar is an effort to enhance Islamic education through a progressive, innovative and highly capable management and administration.
