KUCHING, May 15 (Bernama) -- The 54th National Teachers' Day Awards go beyond mere recognition, serving as a meaningful step towards advancing the quality of education in the country. Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said that any major shift in education begins at the most fundamental unit, namely the classroom, where teachers and students interact daily and shape the true direction of learning. 'When we speak of school reform, there is no place more appropriate or impactful for a child's education than their own classroom. 'Thank you to all teachers for your continued commitment to educating with sincerity. May this effort serve as a strong foundation for enhancing the quality of national education,' she said in her speech at the awards ceremony here today. Fadhlina said the event was not merely symbolic but also served to recognise outstanding teachers who have implemented impactful innovations in teaching and learning. 'I reviewed each nomination thoroughly. There were even some awards I personally requested to be added because I felt these teachers truly deserve our appreciation. 'May these awards inspire other colleagues, and we will continue to strengthen this initiative,' she added. At the ceremony, recipients of the Anugerah Khas Pendidikan, Anugerah Guru Inovatif, Anugerah Guru Ikon, Anugerah Guru Berwibawa, Anugerah Khas Bitara Bahasa and Anugerah Khas Menteri Pendidikan each received a certificate, a plaque of appreciation, and cash prizes of RM3,000, RM1,000, and RM500, depending on the category. -- BERNAMA

Teachers' Day Awards: Four Educators Honoured For Exceptional Dedication
KUCHING, May 15 (Bernama) -- Four dedicated educators from diverse backgrounds were honoured with the highest accolades in education at the 54th National Teachers' Day Awards ceremony here, in recognition of their exceptional contributions to nurturing the nation's future generation. Zarlina Ahmad, recipient of the 'Anugerah Khas Bitara Bahasa', was honoured for her efforts in championing the Malay language. Although she retired in 2016, her commitment to youth development remains undiminished. She continues to play a vital role as a certified language expert with Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka and language workshop facilitator, with the aim of nurturing linguistic potential among students and the community. 'During my years of active teaching, I applied the fun learning and active communication approach to make the Malay language more engaging and meaningful for students,' said Zarlina, who served as a teacher for 30 years, when met by Bernama here today. For Muhammad Nazmi Rosli, a teacher from Sekolah Kebangsaan Long Sebangang, Lawas, and recipient of the 'Anugerah Khas Menteri Pendidikan', he adopts a contextual learning approach to make lessons more appealing. 'This includes transforming the classroom environment into a swimming pool, beach or aircraft to offer an experience that is not only enjoyable but also meaningful to students. The aim is to increase student engagement and make learning more dynamic and practical. 'The main challenge in rural education is not the facilities, but the mindset of teachers and the need for empathy, patience, and passion in educating the children,' said Muhammad Nazmi, who was listed among the world's top 10 teachers in the Global Teacher Prize. Meanwhile, Amirudin Razali from SMK Puteri Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, who was named 'Guru Ikon STEM', expressed hope that the recognition would inspire more STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) teachers to nurture talent and take students to the international stage. He added that among the methods he often applies are outdoor learning and hands-on activities, which open up opportunities for practical exploration and spark creativity and problem-solving skills in students. As for Nur Ameera Nabila Azmi, a young teacher from SK Padang Pekan, Jitra, Kedah, who received the 'Anugerah Guru Ikon Muda', she uses creative methods such as singing and movement in class to encourage student participation. In addition, she actively records her students' talents and produces videos to share, aiming to boost their enthusiasm and interest in learning. -- BERNAMA BERNAMA provides up-to-date authentic and comprehensive news and information which are disseminated via BERNAMA Wires; BERNAMA TV on Astro 502, unifi TV 631 and MYTV 121 channels and BERNAMA Radio on FM93.9 (Klang Valley), FM107.5 (Johor Bahru), FM107.9 (Kota Kinabalu) and FM100.9 (Kuching) frequencies.
