AGAB 2019 invited nominations to recognise outstanding Malay Language teachers for their contributions to teaching, student development and the promotion of Malay language and culture.
Students, educators, parents and members of the public were invited to nominate outstanding Malay Language teachers for the Arif Budiman Malay Language Teacher Award (AGAB). The award recognises teachers from primary and secondary schools, junior colleges and Millennia Institute for their contributions to the teaching and learning of the Malay Language.
Since its inception in 2007, AGAB has recognised 55 Malay Language teachers. In 2019, four awards were presented across two categories: Primary School, and Secondary School & Pre-university.
Nominees were assessed based on their ability to inspire students’ knowledge, skills and interest in the Malay Language, literature and culture; commitment to excellence in teaching; care for students’ well-being; and demonstration of the ‘Arif’ and ‘Budiman’ values through exemplary service as educators.
Nominations were open from 25 February to 11 April 2019. AGAB 2019 was jointly organised by the Malay Language Council, Singapore, Malay Language Teachers Association, Berita Harian and the Malay Language Learning and Promotion Committee, with recipients announced in November 2019.
