He emphasized the importance of completing all tasks on time and to a high standard, obeying and listening to instructions from supervisors, developing attitudes and characters with integrity, being obedient to religion, and showing kindness and hospitality to parents, students, and fellow employees.

The in-service training was a valuable opportunity for teachers and staff to learn about the importance of integrity in education. The seminars will help to ensure that MIS continues to provide a high-quality education to its students.
