Welcome to Maktab Nasional!
I am really honoured and feel very privileged to function as the Principal of Maktab Nasional, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our website. Let me take this opportunity to thank the Board of Governors for giving me the opportunity to serve in Maktab Nasional. Maktab Nasional was born out of the sweat, toil and vision of its founders. We are a dynamic institution that believes in staying ahead of the times. The students’ perpetual energy, movement and enthusiasm permeate the atmosphere at Maktab Nasional. We value individualism, creativity and innovation and strive to nurture them in our students.
Education has always been a thrust area of priority for the governments of the contemporary world. This school shall be aspiring to serve as a facilitator and service provider for all the interested and motivated students of the area and try to build the necessary infra structure, services and facilities to equip them with the required skills and an urge to compete and contribute alongside their better advantaged urban counterparts in the noble task of the service to humanity.
The importance of education in the life of an individual cannot be overstated. It shapes individuals in their formative years and imbues them with values that would govern all their choices in life. For me, Education does not mean providing answers. It means equipping the pupil with the means to find the answers for himself and within himself. Education empowers students to discover themselves – who they are as people. Within each student is a doctor, an engineer, a teacher, a social activist, a sports person, an environmentalist, a poet, an author or an economist. The teachers support them in channelizing resources vis-à-vis their dreams thus, sustainably generating civilized and productive human capital for serving our country in line with the school mission and vision.
We describe ourselves as a learning community because we believe that we are all learners – teachers, students and parents – learning from and with each other. We describe ourselves as a community in which parents, teachers and support staff work in partnership with each other to advance the learning and growth of the students.
My commitment to our community is to lead the school with enthusiasm and passion to enable us to reach our goals. Let us work together to make Maktab Nasional as the best school, it can be. We look forward to welcoming you to be part of our vibrant learning community.
We strongly believe in “there is no substitute for hard work”. But of course, work without vision is a journey without direction.
A warm welcome to you! Join us to work with vision! My whole hearted wishes and thanks to all the user of our school website.
