SOCIETY - MALAYSIA

Thanking teachers

OVER 40,000 roses and special thank you notes were delivered to secondary school teachers throughout Malaysia in conjunction with Teachers Day.
The initiative was driven by INTI International University and Colleges (INTI) as an acknowledgement to the nation’s dedicated educators for their contribution to students and to society as a whole.
Many teachers were pleasantly surprised by the gesture and were grateful that their hard work were recognised.

INTI’s initiative also included a Teachers’ Convention that saw INTI’s academics and close to 300 teachers from secondary schools in the Klang Valley, Putrajaya, Negri Sembilan and Malacca sharing the latest teaching and learning methodologies, and updates on classroom technologies.
The convention aimed to bolster the good work performed by teachers and was officiated by Education deputy director-general (Teacher Development Professionalism) Datuk Dr Khair Mohamad Yusof.
Prominent speakers included the Laureate Malaysia chief executive officer Amit Sevak, Global Higher Education Consultants executive chairman and chief consultant, and national chief scout commissioner Kol Prof Datuk Dr Kamarudin Kachar, and INTI International University deputy vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Ibrahim Ahmad Bajunid.
The speakers delivered insightful messages on the importance of education and a teacher’s role in transforming lives, understanding and enabling youth, as well as building a culture of creativity for sustainability of excellence.
Two other similar conventions will be held in Penang and Johor on June 16 and 23 respectively.
“This is the first time INTI has organised such a large scale initiative nationwide as part of our corporate social responsibility to honour teachers, the unsung heroes of society who contribute so much to the nation’s development,” said Prof Ibrahim who also thanked the teachers for their dedication.
