THE Seri Begawan Religious Teachers University College (Kupu SB)
intends to focus not only on providing its students with religious
knowledge to equip them for their teaching career, but also other
skills, Kupu SB co-curriculum coordinator said yesterday.
In an interview at the opening of a two-day event to mark the end of the university college's co-curriculum activities for this semester, Hj Roslan said that in the future religious teachers will not only know how to teach religious subjects but also possess skills in different areas.
Kupu SB has four co-curriculum activities: Fire & Rescue Cadets, Red Crescent Society, volunteers and religious group.
There are reasons behind for the establishment of Fire & Rescue cadets, Red Crescent Society, he said.
Hj Roslan said with these skills they could provide aid if anything were to happen in the schools they teach, while waiting for the assistance to arrive.
"This is the uniqueness of Kupu SB, the fact that it does not only emphasise on uniform groups or volunteers, but the religious aspects as well," he said.
"They (members of the religious group) are expose on how to deliver religious talks, tazkirah, sermons, acting as bilal and imam.
Plans are also in the works to add more activities under the group such as Islamic medicine and Jawi khat (calligraphy).
The co-curriculum activities are organised every semester, and in 2009, the activities were incorporated in the students' academic syllabus where they could gain points or credits for their participation.
"Previously, the end of semester co-curriculum activities were only organised internally. This year, we decided to bring it to the public," he said.
"We want to tell the public that we also have our own cadets and associations that are at par with other universities."
Hj Roslan said Kupu SB will continue to organise co-curriculum activities to equip their students with these skills.
The event also saw the exhibitions by Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) and Islamic Da'wah Centre.
