KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 (Bernama) -- Former Ministry of Education (MOE) deputy secretary-general (Planning and Development) Datuk Wan Hashim Wan Rahim officially began his duties today as the ministry’s new secretary-general.

The MOE congratulated Wan Hashim on the appointment and expressed confidence in his ability to lead the ministry towards more sustainable excellence in line with the nation’s educational aspirations.

“The MOE welcomes Datuk Wan Hashim Wan Rahim, who officially begins his duties today as the ministry’s new secretary-general.

“His appointment is regarded as an important continuation for the ministry, as Datuk Wan Hashim is no stranger to the country’s education sector,” the MOE said in a statement today.

A symbolic clocking-in ceremony was also held, attended by the ministry’s top leadership, including Education director-general Datuk Dr Mohd Azam Ahmad and MOE deputy secretary-general Datuk Ikmalrudin Ishak.

According to the MOE, throughout Wan Hashim’s tenure as deputy secretary-general (Planning and Development), he was known as a committed administrator with extensive expertise in project management and public policy.

He also consistently emphasised the importance of an efficient service delivery system to ensure that every ministry initiative has a positive impact on teachers, students and the wider education community.
