GOMBAK, 25 January 2025:<\/strong> An exclusive interview with the new President of the Bachelor of Education Students’ Society\u00a0(BESS) of the\u00a0Kulliyah of Education (KOED), IIUM, Nur Fatini binti Mohd Nizam, gained insights into her inspiring journey, her vision for KOED, and her plans for the students and community of IIUM.

“I am feeling so delighted and grateful for this opportunity. Alhamdulilah, today feels like one of my brightest days,” Fatini shared, her joy shining through. When asked about her background, Fatini mentioned, “My name is Nur Fatini binti Mohd Nizam. I am a second-year, second-semester student majoring in TESL with a minor in Instructional Technology (IT). I began as an ordinary girl with little confidence to take on such responsibilities, but my environment and experiences during my tenure in 2024 helped me grow. Alhamdulillah, I now have the courage to embrace this role.”

Fatini outlined her three main manifestations for KOED as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Creating a School-Friendly Environment<\/strong>
    Fatini highlighted the need for KOED to better prepare students for real-world teaching environments. “Lecturers often report that final-year students are shocked by the modern school environment during their supervision visits,” she said. “My goal is to make KOED resemble a school environment, equipping students with the experience they need for their future workplaces.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Promoting Sponsorship Opportunities<\/strong>
    Recognizing that KOED students often miss out on sponsorship opportunities, Fatini aims to bridge this gap. “KOED students often overlook sponsorship opportunities compared to other kulliyyahs. I plan to develop a program kit that informs students about available sponsorships, enabling them to set bigger goals within reasonable budgets,” she explained.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Enhancing Communication<\/strong>
    Improved communication within KOED and with IIUM administration is also a top priority. “It’s crucial to enhance communication among KOED students and amplify their voices to higher management, including IIUM administration,” Fatini emphasized.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    With her proactive approach, Fatini aims to bring transformative changes to KOED, ensuring students are well-prepared and supported throughout their academic journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    Fatini also discussed her plans to address IIUM\u2019s dress code issues, “As students seeking knowledge, our attire reflects our identity. At KOED, we have ‘KOED Smart Day,’ where students wear formal attire\u2014baju kurung or proper attire for ladies and shirts and ties for men, with appropriate shoes and socks.” For her this fosters a professional identity and aligns with the shariah. She proposed expanding this initiative, \u201cWe could introduce an ‘IIUM Smart Day’ every Monday. This initiative would enhance our identity and set a positive example for the wider community.\u201d

    When asked what motivated her to pursue this position, Fatini referenced a Quranic verse from Surah Al-Imran:

    “\u0643\u064f\u0646\u062a\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u062e\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0631\u064e \u0623\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651\u0629\u064d \u0623\u064f\u062e\u0652\u0631\u0650\u062c\u064e\u062a\u0652 \u0644\u0650\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0633\u0650” (You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind).
    She elaborated, “During my UNGS course, my lecturer often asked us about our purpose. I want to serve the Ummah to the best of my ability. This role as president is a small step toward that goal.”

    Fatini expressed gratitude to her UNGS lecturer, Dr. Abdulwahed Jalal Nori, by saying, “Thank you, sir, for your guidance.”

    Lastly, Fatini emphasized on the importance of good teamwork, “I believe two are better than one. As president, I can\u2019t achieve my goals alone. My hope is to gain the support of my fellow KOED students so we can succeed together.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
