In 2008 I had the pleasure of working with then Country Manager of Microsoft Brunei, Mr Chan Wan Kong and several government schools to produce a library of images for the Learning Styles and Powerpoint assignment. Came December 2011, the new team at Microsoft Brunei got in touch with me on a new Microsoft assignment: A report that summarizes Microsoft Brunei’s “current investment and milestones in the execution of the ‘Partners in Learning’ MOU in supporting the Ministry of Education’s vision of quality education towards a developed peaceful and prosperous nation.” The picture below featuring students from Chung Ching Middle School was chosen at the cover image including a monochrome version inside.
Microsoft Vision: Anytime, Anywhere Learning for All
Microsoft Mission: Helping Students & Educators throughout the World Realise their Full Potential
Microsoft Partners in Learning is a 10-year, almost 500 million dollar global initiative aimed at improving teaching and learning. Since 2003, we have partnered with more than 8 million teachers, reaching more than 190 million students in 114 countries in our first 7 years alone.
Every child has a right to an excellent education, and that education is critical to the social and economic development of every nation. Our vision of anytime, anywhere learning for all comes to life through Partners in Learning - a programme that works with educators, education leaders, and governments around the world at national, state, and local levels to deliver a portfolio of professional development, curricula, tools, and resources to help advance student outcomes through digital inclusion and innovative teaching and learning practices.
