KUCHING, Oct 26: Pupils of Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Nanga Temalat in Song can look forward to a better learning environment following the completion of its new school buildings under the redevelopment of dilapidated schools project in Sarawak.
Works Minister and Kapit MP Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi officiated at the opening of the new school buildings, which were completed on Sept 18.
“Having a safe and comfortable place to learn means a great deal to parents. This is the hope we want to fulfil for the people of Nanga Temalat, so their children can have a good start in building their future,” he said in a Facebook post on Sunday (Oct 25).
Nanta said the school had long served children in the Nanga Temalat community but had also faced challenges when it was hit by floods.
The newly completed facilities include a four-storey administrative block, two twin Type C quarters, separate hostels for boys and girls with a capacity of 30 occupants each, as well as learning equipment and basic amenities.
The improved facilities are expected to benefit 94 pupils, including preschoolers, and 17 teachers. Of the total pupil population, 28 are hostel residents.
He expressed hope that the new facilities would help teachers carry out their duties more effectively and motivate pupils to continue pursuing their ambitions.
“To the children of SK Nanga Temalat, keep studying hard and have the courage to pursue your dreams,” he said. — DayakDaily
