Moreover, on this occasion, the proceeds from the auction of this artwork are intended to benefit others," he expressed, Monday (3/10).
He reminded all educators to take part in the priority program of the Ministry of Elementary and Secondary Education.
One of the priorities of the program was related to optimizing deep learning and the digitalization of the teaching and learning process.
"I believe that for the educators of the Al-Azhar Islamic Boarding School Foundation, all of these priority programs are not something new. This means you all should be able to further encourage and implement them in the teaching and learning process," he added.
