Kota Kinabalu: Consul-General of the People's Republic of China in Kota Kinabalu, Chen Peijie has offered advice and suggestions to the Board of Governors of Institut Sinaran on identifying potential educational institutions in China for possible linkage.This is in line with the institute's mission this year to provide the best education opportunities for its students by fostering new linkages and networking in China to further raise the standard of education.

She was in a fruitful discussion about education and the challenges that students and teachers face in the 21st century with a six-member delegation from the Institute's Board, led by its Vice-Chairperson Datuk Nancy Ho during a courtesy call on her, recently. The others were CEO Marie Yong, and four Board members, namely Michael Cheng, Jackwite Lee, Jimmy Chu and Sucie Chong.

Ho, who is also the Board's Public Relations Committee Chairperson, said both parties agreed that education is central to improving the quality of life because it raises the economic status of families and improves life conditions.

"With a higher educational attainment of the next generation, it will raise the generation's chances for better economic and social well-being.

"We are thankful for the support shown by the Consul-General and her staff, and appreciate her concern and invaluable advice," she said.

Institut Sinaran, formerly known as Sabah Tshung Tsin Pre-University Centre, is a premier private higher institution established in 1987 by the Kota Kinabalu Hakka Association with the aim to provide affordable, internationally recognised pre-university qualifications for the local community. As the largest Cambridge A-level centre in East Malaysia, it has been successful in producing world-class graduates.

Meanwhile, Institut Sinaran CEO Yong said the recent Cambridge A-level results indicated a major leap in the academic performance of the students, while attributing this to the committed and passionate academic team.
