No plans yet to provide free tertiary education for Sarawakian students, says state minister

Sagah explained that the free education for Sarawak students at state-owned universities could not be implemented next year as his ministry is still looking at the implications. ― AFP file picKUCHING, May 13 — The Sarawak state government has no plans to provide free tertiary education to students studying at non-state-owned universities.

“We have not reached the stage yet, but there is no telling that such matters cannot be considered,” he told DAP’s Padungan State Assemblyman Chong Chieng Jen who wanted the minister to clarify if the state government would provide free tertiary education not just in state-owned universities, but also to Sarawak students studying in foreign universities.

He expressed hope that Sarawakian students, currently in secondary schools concentrate on their studies, perform well in their examinations, and get accepted into the state’s institutions. “These efforts will enrich its academic offerings, and broaden the cultural and intellectual horizons of its students as well as the institutions,” he said.
