After the registration, there was a recital of the Al-Fatihah. It was followed by the introduction of the authors of Year 7 and Year 8 Commercial Studies text-books.
After that, the highlight of the day was a short presentation of the working visits of some of the committee members to various schools in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Ireland on Entrepreneurship. In the presentation teachers gained useful ideas of how to organise and run Business related activities in their school. It was indeed an eye opener for the teachers who were present at the briefing. Not only students from the secondary level, but also the primary level who was able to participate fully and produce products for sale in their schools.
Shortly afterwards, the teachers took a short break and browse through some of the available textbooks, resource books, projects and activities on display.
The briefing continued with the authors sharing some information on the textbook then followed by a question and answer session.
The briefing adjourned at 4.30pm.
