The revised Vision and Mission Statements of the Ministry of Education were the impetus for change. These revisions provided the foundations for strategic planning and helped establish priorities. The revised Vision, Mission and Strategic issues of the Ministry of Education are outlined below:

VISION:

“Quality Education towards a Developed, Peaceful and Prosperous Nation”

The Ministry of Education acknowledges the relationship between education and economic performance, participation in the global economy and the development of a knowledgeable society through quality education.

A Quality Education seeks to develop and equip our children morally, intellectually, physically, socially and aesthetically with the right values and skills to become responsible dynamic citizens, who are able to contribute positively to the nation.

The Ministry of Education is committed to providing an educational system that prepares young people for future adult roles as capable, creative, thinking citizens who can contribute to and benefit their families, community, and society.

The Ministry of Education recognizes that growing globalisation, together with increased sensitivity to national, regional and cultural issues affects the individual and group identity, places fresh demands upon the education system and is challenging assumptions about the purpose and functions of education. Issues concerning the quality of education must embrace these developments. Education is hence the cornerstone of a prosperous nation within which societies are built, based on peace, equality, and democratic practice.

The Ministry of Education is committed to developing and providing quality education for our stakeholders, which has the following characteristics:

 

• Quality education that moulds individuals within our society to be balanced and well-rounded.
• Quality education that develops the personal attributes (spiritual, mental, physical and aesthetics values, leadership, entrepreneurship, morale) of the students.
• Quality education that produces team players, caring individuals, good communicators, accountable and responsible citizens.
• Quality education that produces an education system of international standard, which fosters valuable and marketable skills, and encourages a life-long learning orientation that will contribute to a harmonious and politically stable society.
• Quality education that sets the basis for a knowledgebased economy.
• Quality education in which our students’ learning attainments are comparable with international standards.

It is this provision of Quality Education that will provide a firm foundation for Brunei Darussalam to become a Developed, Peaceful and Prosperous Nation with the following features:

• A Knowledge based economy
• Security assurance
• Political stability
• Civil service excellence
• Excellent human resources
