KUCHING, Nov 11: Sarawak’s readiness for AI-powered education faces an infrastructure challenge, with 759 schools in the State yet to receive fibre internet connectivity.
Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said geographical and logistical constraints, particularly in rural and interior areas, remained among the main obstacles to expanding fibre internet coverage in Sarawak.
“Geographical vastness and logistical challenges in interior areas are among the main constraints in implementing fibre internet connectivity, particularly in Sarawak,” he said, as reported by TVS.
He was responding to a question from Nurul Amin Hamid (PN-Padang Terap) during the Dewan Rakyat sitting on the number of schools yet to meet the Education Ministry’s internet speed and stability standards, as well as its preparedness and timeline for implementing digital and AI-based education.
