Some questions/opinions from students being voiced out during the dialogue sessions
include : SPA questions should be psychometric, not focused on general knowledge; Allowances
for elderly/students should be raised due to increased cost of living /high dependency ratio;
Improvements in school Wifi as some students don’t have its privilege at home; Programming
Course should be encouraged starting from primary school as compulsory because IT is evolving
too fast and so as to catch up with other developed countries’ current technology, Changing
Bruneian mindsets regarding low-class jobs e.g. cleaners, contractors etc so as to not look upon
those jobs with scorn and discontempt.
