KUALA LUMPUR, July 5 (Bernama) -- Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM) described the appointment of Dr Mohd Azam Ahmad as the new Director General of Education as a timely move that can shape the future of national education and comprehensively strengthen the country’s education sector.
In a statement today, ABIM secretary-general Aliemran Norasid welcomed and congratulated Mohd Azam, expressing hope that he would shoulder the trust placed in him with full commitment and determination.
“With a solid academic background and more than three decades of experience in the field of education, ABIM is confident that this appointment comes at a very critical time to shape the future of national education,” he said.
Aliemran stressed that national education must be built upon core values, guided by foresight, and prioritise areas such as creating a more agile education system, strengthening identity-based education, ensuring equitable and quality access to education, and producing well-rounded, holistic students.
“ABIM believes that the future of Malaysian children requires an educational approach that is bold, progressive and grounded in the MADANI principle...not cosmetic changes, but real reforms that touch on the policies, practices and culture within the national education system,” he said.
He said ABIM remains committed to collaborating and contributing to the success of the nation’s education agenda, which forms the foundation of the country’s progress and the dignity of the ummah.
Dr Mohd Azam’s appointment as Director-General of Education takes effect this Monday. He replaces Datuk Azman Adnan, who retired yesterday.
