BINTULU: Educators are urged to carry out their duties with commitment to provide the best in education to their students.

Education, Science and Technological Research Minister Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong said every teacher must have the desire and determination to give of their best to students to help the state government produce more intellectuals in the future.

“For that purpose, it is the responsibility of all parties, especially parents and teachers, to work closely with each other to ensure all issues can be dealt with properly.”

Manyin said this when officiating at the opening of the 38th Sarawak Bumiputera Teachers’ Union (KGBS) representatives conference at a hotel here yesterday.

As one of the active unions in the state for educators, KGBS must help his ministry think of the best way to improve the academic quality of school students in the state.

“This is to ensure our quality of education can be improved to be on par with the academic performance of students in other states,” Manyin said.

Nevertheless, it was not an easy task because certain schools were located far in the interior.
“It’s a challenge for our educators here to accept with an open heart; the government is concerned about the educational aspect, which is the only way to improve the lives of people in the state,” he added.
Manyin aso announced a grant of RM10,000 for KGBS.

Present were Sarawak education director Rakayah Madon, KGBS president Ahmad Malie and Bintulu education officer Fred Entau.
