KOTA BELUD: Education plays a pivotal role in the success of a nation’s civilization, contributing to the development of a well-rounded society in all aspects.
According to Usukan assemblyman Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak, the foundation of civilization should begin within the confines of one’s home.
He emphasised the significance of the family unit as a fundamental component in shaping society and ultimately constructing a civilised country.
Dr. Salleh expressed these views during the inauguration of the Civil Parenting Talk Programme 2024 at SK Suang Punggor, near
here recently.
He highlighted the timeliness of organising such a programme and called for support from all parties involved.
The former Sabah chief minister stressed that the programme serves as a platform to enhance the awareness and sensitivity of parents and guardians regarding the importance of collaborating with teachers at school.
“This collaboration is essential in nurturing children who possess noble character, leadership qualities, discipline, and both physical and mental resilience,” he said.
Salleh emphasised the significance of this endeavour in overcoming the ever-evolving challenges in education and in cultivating skilled individuals for the new millennium.
Furthermore, he urged parents to take on the role of primary leaders in guiding their families towards acquiring knowledge while remaining cognizant of the current environment and the challenges it presents.
