UTB champions gender equality by empowering women and youth to lead, innovate, and thrive. Through leadership opportunities, initiatives, and international collaborations, we foster an inclusive community where everyone can reach their full potential.

Gender equality is central to UTB’s mission of delivering world-class, inclusive education. Our policies and culture ensure that all staff, regardless of gender, have equal opportunities to contribute, grow, and succeed.

UTB also supports female employees’ rights to maternity leave in line with Brunei Darussalam’s Employment Laws, providing 15 weeks of leave (2 weeks pre-delivery, 13 weeks post-delivery) to help balance work and family responsibilities. (labour.gov.bn)

By empowering everyone equitably, UTB strengthens its community and drives innovation, leadership, and sustainable impact for all.
