A total of 83 students, comprising 35 boys and 48 girls, have successfully enrolled in the Youth Quran Recitation Scheme (STAR) for the 28th intake of the 2025-2026 academic year.
The registration session, organised by the Islamic Studies Department through the Al-Quran Recitation and Dikir Unit, took place Sunday morning at Pengiran Anak Puteri Masna Religious School.
The students were selected following interviews held in September 2024.
Following the registration, Ustazah Siti Huzzaimah Yadey binti Haji Rosli, Head of the Al-Quran Recitation and Dikir Unit, delivered a briefing outlining the two-year programme. Participants will attend classes for two hours every Friday and Sunday during school terms.
The STAR programme aims to train youth in Quran recitation using renowned melodies, dikir, and tausyeh, with the goal of developing future national-level Qari and Qariah representatives. – Fadley Faisal
