Parents told to prioritise children’s education
BINTULU: Parents play very important role in the development of their children and priority should always be given to their education.
Deputy Resident Hamdiah Bakir said in today’s challenging environment, only education would ensure these young children could succeed in life.
She said this at the presentation of excellence awards at SK Tatau yesterday, representing Bintulu Resident Muhamad Yakup Kari.
“Parents should have an open mind and if they have some issues with the school, especially with teachers, they should use a proper channel to discuss it with the school authority.
“What is important is for us to keep up their spirit to study hard to become excellent students,” she reminded the parents.
