Abstract

In 2009, the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Institute of Education (SHBIE) at Universiti Brunei Darussalam was transformed into a graduate school of education. Th e Institute of Education which previously off ered undergraduate programmes, has undergone a complete overhaul over the past couple of years to focus more on graduate programmes in research and evidence-based practices.SHBIE as a graduate school off ers innovative graduate programmes which include Master of Teaching (MTeach), Master of Education (Med) and Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD). Part of the rationale behind this transformation, as in other countries, was a desire to enhance the professional status of teachers in the nation by (i) having a policy that all teachers should in the long-term be qualifi ed to masters level and (ii) ensuring that the education teachers receive provides them not only with basic teaching strategies, but also with the skills to engage in on-going, evidence-based improvements in their teaching throughout their career. Th is paper will discuss the transformation of SHBIE in the pursuit of better teacher quality that aims to upgrade the teaching profession in Brunei Darussalam. This paper begins with a brief background about the national education system in Brunei. It then describes the transformation of teacher education in Brunei Darussalam on realising Brunei’s National Vision, known as Wawasan 2035. Th is paper then focuses on how the role of teacher education might play towards quality excellence in education, human development and the well-being in Brunei. Th is paper concludesthe way forward for teacher education in Brunei in striving greater connection, collaboration, and cooperation around projects that foster mutual understanding and wellbeing of people in ASEAN countries.
