KUCHING, Oct 30: The Sarawak government will allocate RM16 million next year to equip approximately 1,400 schools across the State with smartboards as part of efforts to modernise teaching and learning.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the initiative would cover schools in both urban and rural areas, provided they had access to internet connectivity.
He emphasised that Sarawak wanted to ensure teachers and students had access to modern digital learning tools, particularly to strengthen the teaching of science and other important subjects.
“Today we need smartboards. Sarawak currently has about 1,400 schools, and all schools will be given smartboards,” he said when addressing the 33rd Sarawak Premier Special Award and Sarawak Education Award 2026 at Hikmah Exchange Event Centre today.
