Culture
Being relatively small, and having evolved from a village school, Irsyad is a close-knit community where everyone knows each other. In fact, the C.E.O. of Irsyad himself, Mr Ahmad Shafai ada Jaafar, or more affectionately known as Pak Utih, repeatedly makes it known that any student is welcome to stop by his office to visit him anytime! Many of the teachers and principals are ex-Irsyad students themselves, and it is not unusual to see recent Irsyad graduates returning to Irsyad to contribute in a range of ways, from organising events for the young ones to mentoring those who are due to take national exams.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Asia is rich in people, rich in culture and rich in resources. It is also rich in trouble.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
