Education
There are 3 schools under the ownership and management of the vicariate, all providing elementary and high school education. All the schools are coeducational.
- St. George's School in Bandar Seri Begawan
- St. John's School in Kuala Belait
- St. Angela's Convent School
The schools are not subsidised or aided by the government, and thus run on a full fee-paying basis.
As the government does not allow catechism lessons during school hours or within school premises, Sunday (and Friday) school is conducted for this purpose.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“The Cairo conference ... is about a complicated web of education and employment, consumption and poverty, development and health care. It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning. While Cairo crackles with conflict, in the homes of the world the orthodoxies have been duly heard, and roundly ignored.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself; indeed, it seems to execute itself.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
