The state’s premier warns that politicising education will lead to the country’s downfall.
Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg said the state government aimed to provide quality education to increase the people’s income.
“The moment you politicise education, there will be no end to the reactions and counter-reactions, and the country will decline,” he said in a Malay Mail report. Among others, it recognises the Unified Examination Certificate issued by Chinese independent schools and helps to construct buildings for Chinese schools.
He said the state government had also set up international schools based on the Cambridge syllabus and established institutions of higher learning such as University Technology Sarawak and the Swinburne and Curtin universities – where their assets are owned by the state government but their programmes are drawn up by their main campuses in Australia.
