KUCHING: The HIKMAH Islamic Technology College (HiTec) will be a platform for Tahfiz students to advance their studies in technology at a higher level.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said students graduating from Hikmah Tahfiz (Primary and Secondary) schools will continue their education at HiTec to obtain their Diploma.
“The college offers programmes based on technology including digitisation and multimedia. Hence, the students there will not only memorise and recite al-Quran but also have knowledge on technology that is very much needed in today’s time.
“This is our roadmap. I believe that it is possible as long as there is a desire for it,” he said.
He said this when officiating 21st Hikmah Triennial Delegate Assembly at Hikmah Exchange here today (Jun 2).
Touching on the Hikmah Tahfiz Primary School, he stated that the cost to build the school is around RM40 million and is expected to be completed in June this year.
“Whereas the development of HiTec costs higher than the school. Nevertheless, HIKMAH has its own financial resources, not funded by the government,” he said.
For the record, the assembly today was attended by 200 delegates from all 13 HIKMAH branches including Kuching, Samarahan, Serian, Sri Aman, Betong, Sarikei, Sibu, Kapit, Mukah, Bintulu, Miri, Limbang and the Federal Territories.
