CEO IBTE and Director of Technical Education, Dr Haji Mohd Zamri bin Haji Sabli in his welcoming remarks noted that the convocation will witness the fruits of  IBTE students’ perseverance as they don their graduation robes for the first time, marking their transition from students to graduates.

Touching on the significance of having a Pesta Konvo, he noted that on the surface, it signals a convocation event is around the corner, however, planning, coordination, and execution of the activities during the event requires commitment and hard work from those involved.
