MOE focuses on upgrading under-resourced schools in Sabah with high infrastructure allocations to improve rural educational facilities and access
NIBONG TEBAL: The Ministry of Education continues to prioritise upgrading under-resourced schools in Sabah, which receives some of the highest allocations for repairs and new construction.
Minister Fadhlina Sidek said infrastructure development in the state remains a top priority to ensure educational facilities meet high standards, particularly in remote and rural areas.
“In terms of infrastructure, we are focusing on Sabah, addressing educational needs and rural hostels to ensure children have access to schools,” she told reporters after the Asset Handover Ceremony for the MADANI Adopted School Programme.
“Prioritising under-resourced schools and providing new facilities is part of our continuous effort to ensure every child receives proper access to education,” she added.
Fadhlina was responding to media reports on inadequate school infrastructure in Sabah.
During a visit last week to SMK Trus Madi in Tulid, she said MOE is implementing several special programmes and projects.
This includes a new school at Kampung Serudung Laut to meet urgent educational needs in previously underserved areas. – Bernama
