KUCHING, Nov 29: The Ministry of Education, Innovation and Talent Development (MEITD) Sarawak has called on education autonomy to be returned to Sarawak.
Minister Datuk Roland Sagah Wee Inn said however, the Federal funding for the education sector in Sarawak must continue despite the return of the State’s autonomy.
“We pray that Sarawak will be given due consideration for autonomy over education, the aspiration of all Sarawakians.
“The autonomy so granted shall include matters of policy and execution. However, the Federal government shall continue to provide the required funding,” he said when presenting his ministerial winding up speech in the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting today.
Sagah who is also a Bidayuh leader, congratulated the 10th Prime Minister Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim on his appointment to lead the Federal unity government.
“We look forward to working together with the Federal government,” he added. — DayakDaily
