Teacher’s Day 2010 – Hari Guru 2010

May 15, 2010

In the education circle, Teacher’s day (Hari Guru) is traditionally ranked among one of the more important ‘festivals’. Although in recent years the meaning of teacher’s day has eroded, due to more emphasis being placed upon exams and results. Hence, UPSR/PMR/SPM/STPM periods are taken as the prime dates in a school’s calendar. So in the spirit of teacher’s day, let Berry Berry Easy share with all Berry Readers some trivia on this sole day dedicated to teachers.

Teacher’s Day 2010 – Hari Guru 2010

The Origin of Teacher’s Day in Malaysia

Teacher’s day is being celebrated in most countries around the world to commemorate the deeds of teachers all around the world in educating young minds. However, one less-known fact to Malaysian students is that, unlike other ‘festivals’ the date for Teacher’s day is not the same in every country. So why is the 16th of May designated as the official Teacher’s day in Malaysia? I’m sure most students here would have heard of or memorise the noun, Razak Report (Laporan Razak). So how does that link to Teacher’s day?

Here goes the story. On the 16th of May 1956 (one full year before Merdeka), the Federal Legislative Council (Majlis Undang-Undang Persekutuan Tanah Melayu) received suggestions from the Report of the Education Committee (Laporan Jawatankuasa Pelajaran) which forms the core base for our education system in Malaysia. So to commemorate this day, 16th May is selected to be Teacher’s day. The report has since come to be known as the Razak Report. So know you know the historical link. History won’t be so ‘boring’ if you know the stories behind them.

The Theme for Teacher’s Day 2010 (Tema Hari Guru 2010)

The theme for this year’s teacher’s day celebration is “Guru Pembina Negara Bangsa”. This is the same as 2009′s theme. It is not uncommon for themes to be used two years in a row if it reflects the ideals and struggles of educators in Malaysia.

A list of previous themes is shown below:

Activities for Teacher’s Day 2010

So for our readers in Pahang (especially Kuantan), do head down to East Coast Mall for the Teacher’s Day Festival 2010 (Festival Hari Guru 2010) between 13-16 May 2010. You will be able to see performances, competitions, exhibitions and participate in their activities.

Concluding Remarks

Like any other ‘designated’ day (ie. Mother’s day, Father’s day and the likes), you don’t only need to appreciate the deeds of your teachers on 16th of May. If you respect your teachers, everyday is teacher’s day. Also, you don’t have to only say your thanks to your school teachers, the spirit of teacher’s day goes beyond that. You can even wish your parents or friends who have taught you lessons in life a very Happy Teacher’s Day too. Anybody who has imparted knowledge to you deserves a simple greeting from you.

The Berry Berry Teacher will reserve her thanks for now, as tomorrow on 16th of May 2010, a special dedication to her favourite ‘teachers’ will be posted on Berry Berry Easy.So stay tune for tomorrow’s post!

List of Form 6 Schools in the Pasir Gudang District (2010)

May 9, 2010

One of the biggest problem with ‘districts’ is that the conventional district that we know (based on our address) are different from the ‘education zone districts’. Johor Bahru for example are divided into Johor Bahru and Pasir Gudang. Typically, Pasir Gudang will be considered as part or outskirts of JB, but it is not for the schools. So schools from Permas Jaya and Taman Daya which is regarded by most as being in the JB district, will be placed in the Pasir Gudang education district. Confusing?

Not anymore, as Berry Berry Easy will now list out the Form 6 schools for the Pasir Gudang district. There are five schools which offers STPM to students. From which, two schools have both art and science streams. The other remaining three schools are art stream only schools. Without prolonging any further, the list of science stream and art stream form 6 schools are as follow:

List of Form 6 Schools in Pasir Gudang District (Year 2010)

Science Stream

1. SMK Dato Penggawa Timur
2. SMK Permas Jaya

Art Stream

1. SMK Dato Penggawa Timur
2. SMK Permas Jaya
3. SMK Ulu Tiram
4. SMK Pasir Gudang 2
5. SMK Taman Daya
