CHIEF Minister Datuk Seri
Panglima Musa Aman urged educators in Sabah to strive towards a world-class
education system that is in line with the Malaysian Education Development Plan
2013 – 2025 (PPPM).
“The Government and the people
has high hopes on you as teachers to educate our children as well as to help
develop our education system,” Musa said in his speech read by Deputy Chief
Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Yahya Hussin at the launching of the State level
Teacher’s Day Celebration in Tuaran today.
According to the Chief
Minister, one of the goals under the PPPM is to ensure that students are
capable of speaking more than one language. As such, students are encouraged to
learn at least three different languages including Bahasa Malaysia, English and
other languages such as Mandarin, Kadazan Dusun and Bajau.
Musa stressed that the
government will relentlessly support the efforts of the State Education
Department to mould students to be highly successful individuals in Sabah.
He thanked the teachers for
their efforts to educate the young and to turn them into successful and
knowledgeable citizens of the future.
In his speech, State Education
Director Jame Alip noted that the success of PPPM depends on the full cooperation of educators. This
being so, teachers in the State have a large and challenging responsibility
ahead of them.
“Always be a teacher of
quality and a teacher who is effective in the classroom,” he advised the
gathering.
Approximately 600 teachers
from all over Sabah attended the State-level Teacher’s Day Celebration. (Insight
