Professional Visit to Sarajevo

University of Sarajevo, Sarajevo. 25 May 2010.

A collaborative seminar between Malaysia and Bosnia-Herzegovina on Educational Management. Among the participants were university lecturers and students, officers from Ministry of Education and headteachers. IAB was represented by Dr. Sazali Yusoff and Dr. Rusmini Ku Ahmad.

Prva Gimnazija High School, Sarajevo. 24 May 2010.

The school has produced 2 Nobel Prize Winners, in Chemistry and Literature. The school was badly destroyed during the Balkan War but today it has become the choice of parents to send their children. Teachers commitment is unquestionable by virtue of their passion, satisfaction & drive to continue teaching despite of getting inadequate or late salary.

Institute of Pedagogical Education, Sarajevo. 25 May 2010.

Beside giving training for pre-service teachers, the institute also offers courses for headteachers. IAB and Institute of Pedagogical Education have expressed their commitment for future cooperation in training of headteachers in both countries.
