Mohd Sirhajwan (centre) in discussion with his students on practical innovations. — MOHD SIRHAJWAN IDEK

ONE step at a time – that has been Dr Mohd Sirhajwan Idek’s approach to empowering his students in English language learning, and innovation and entrepreneurship ever since he started his teaching career at Keningau Vocational College (KVC), Sabah, in 2012.

Over the years, the multi-award-winning English language teacher has gone on to empower his fellow teachers through continuing professional development in his aim to ensure they “live up to their full potential”. Having played a vital role in bringing the college from the interior region of Sabah to the global stage through the participation of his students and peers in various international events besides his own, he now plans to mobilise them to reach out to the community in Sabah to help carry out their innovation and social projects, and enhance their livelihoods.
