KUCHING, Nov 8: SK Pulo in Darul Hana is set to make history as Sarawak’s first government smart school, with its new building scheduled to begin operations in the 2027 school session.
Fully funded by the Sarawak government, the development project is equipped with information and communications technology (ICT) facilities to provide pupils with a more modern, conducive, and well-organised learning environment.
Deputy Minister in the Sarawak Premier’s Department (Project Coordinator for Regional Development Agencies, Kuching North City Commission, and Islamic Affairs), Datuk Dr Abdul Rahman Junaidi, said the new facilities would provide greater comfort for SK Pulo pupils when they eventually move into the new building.
“SK Pulo’s status as the State’s first government smart school marks an important milestone in efforts to strengthen educational facilities, particularly for residents in the Seberang Hilir and Darul Hana areas,” he said at the closing ceremony of the Darul Hana Carnival 2026 here on Sunday (Nov 8), as reported by TVS.
Dr Abdul Rahman also expressed his appreciation to Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg for approving the construction of the school’s new building.
“The development is among the efforts to improve educational facilities for Darul Hana residents, as the area enters its 10th year since the implementation of the resettlement programme.
“The provision of smart school facilities is also expected to create more opportunities for the younger generation to acquire digital knowledge and skills, which are increasingly important in navigating technological advancements and future challenges,” he said. — DayakDaily
