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:
“Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
