KUCHING, June 8: The Yayasan Sarawak International Secondary School (YSISS) Sibu is expected to open latest by this month or the next, says Deputy Minister for Education, Innovation, and Talent Development Sarawak, Datuk Dr Annuar Rapaee.
According to TVS, Dr Annuar stated that the school is awaiting safety approval from the Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba).
He said the student take session began in January and that all Form 1 students are temporarily placed at YSISS Kuching.
“Our students have begun the school session at YSISS Kuching, where teachers are also temporarily placed.
“We are just waiting for the official approval from Bomba before moving the students to YSISS Sibu,” he said during a Hari Raya Aidiladha programme in Sibu today.
In April, Dr Annuar said that the school is expected to open in Sibu by the middle of this year.
“Our target is clear—our best students, especially from rural areas and low-income families, should be given opportunities to study at international schools. Hopefully, they will be able to further their studies at internationally renowned universities.
“We always see physical development like roads, electricity, water and bridges. But at the same time, the Sarawak government also invests in developing quality education for Sarawakians,” he said. — DayakDaily
