By 1957, an additional 20 students were registered at the college, which had two lecturers: one from Malaya and the other a local, Cikgu Haji Mohd Sum bin Hashim.

During a certificate presentation ceremony in the afternoon, students who had finished three years of instruction at the institution were given diplomas by Pengiran Muhammad Yusuf, the Menteri Besar of Brunei.

It has created and supported several teacher training programs, arranged important conferences—such as the first international psychological conference in 1997—and worked in tandem with the Ministry of Education on a number of projects.

As of 2012, the new Master of Teaching program is currently the focus of SHBIE, and in the upcoming years, plans are to increase psychological courses and postgraduate degrees.

With an emphasis on improving teaching quality at all curricular levels, SHBIE's work supports both national and worldwide educational growth.
