One of the main goals of the Brunei Darussalam’s Long-Term Development Plan 2035 or Wawasan 2035, launched in January 2008, is ‘an educated, highly skilled and accomplished people’, to be achieved by building a first class education system that provides opportunities for every citizen and resident to meet the requirements of the changing economy and encourages lifelong learning as well as achievements in sport and the arts. This will require an education strategy that will
prepare youth for employment and achievement in a world that is increasingly competitive and knowledge-based. While recognizing the need to change, the country will continue to uphold vigorously the values that have been the foundation of its political stability, social harmony and prosperity. In this work the country shall be guided at all times by the commitment to the Brunei Monarchy and Nation, the faith in the values of Islam, and the tradition of tolerance, compassion and social harmony.
