KUCHING, Oct 18: Sarawak has taken over upgrading projects involving SMK Gedong and SK Sageng amid slightly lower federal government allocations, says Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
He said the State Government was stepping in to ensure students continued to receive quality education and access to up-to-date knowledge, regardless of where the funding came from.
“Although the federal government’s allocation has been reduced slightly, the State Government is taking over the school projects in Sageng and Gedong.
“We do not look at where the funding comes from. What matters is that our children must be trained and equipped with the latest knowledge,” he said at the launch of the ‘Satu Pemimpin, Satu Kampung’ programme in Kampung Gedong today, which was livestreamed on the Sarawak Public Communication Unit’s (UKAS) Facebook page.
