DARO (Sarawak), \u00a0Sept 7 (Bernama) — Providing access to education in Sarawak for all students regardless of their background or location is a major commitment and mission of the\u00a0Ministry of Education (MoE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the ministry\u2019s commitment to addressing the issue in Sarawak,\u00a0especially involving rural schools and those in the interiors, can be seen through the Parliamentary Follow-up Programme (TSP) in Sibu, Daro and Mukah from Sept 6 to 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said the TSP involved field visits to survey and evaluate first-hand the issues faced at the school level and then proposals will be submitted to the relevant parties to address the problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Through this visit, we go to several schools to look at the aspect of access to education in Sarawak interior areas. There are things we can solve and some require the cooperation of agencies such as the Public Works Department (JKR) to ensure a conducive atmosphere for our children to learn,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was met by reporters at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Nanga Semah here yesterday. The school is\u00a0involved in the TSP programme. Other schools visited under the TSP programme yesterday were\u00a0SK Kg Kut, Daro and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Jalan Oya, Sibu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The programme, which also involved the participation of top management of MoE and local community leaders, will also visit the Teacher Activity Center (PKG), SK Kg Pangtray, SMK Matu, SK Kg Pergau, all in Daro, and SK Kampong Tellian in Mukah today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Fadhlina said one of the issues of education raised in Sarawak is related to the provision of infrastructure and teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, she said, despite the various challenges, teachers and students in Sarawak managed to show excellent commitment and attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In Sarawak, one of the things that is often raised is the shortage of teachers, facilities and development, but the students\u2019 attendance is 97 to 98 per cent. If the students are not in school it is because they are not well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The TSP programme in Sarawak is the third series this year after Selangor in April and in Pulau Tioman, Pahang in August<\/p>\n\n\n\n
