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:
“With a generous endowment of motherhood provided by legislation, with all laws against voluntary motherhood and education in its methods repealed, with the feminist ideal of education accepted in home and school, and with all special barriers removed in every field of human activity, there is no reason why woman should not become almost a human thing. It will be time enough then to consider whether she has a soul.”
—Crystal Eastman (18811928)
“Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad politics, and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“Toward education marriage nervous breakdown, operation, teaching
school, and learning to be mad, in a dreamwhat is this
life?”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
