Sarawak education system open to all races, says PBB official

SIBU: The Sarawak state government's approach to education ensures equal access for citizens regardless of ethnicity, according to Datuk Dr Annuar Rapaee, Vice President of ruling party Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB).

The remarks, made in Sibu on November 7, come amid broader discussions about educational equity and accessibility across Sarawak. Dr Annuar emphasised that the state's education framework has been designed to accommodate the diverse demographic composition of Sarawak's population.

The statement reflects PBB's positioning on social inclusion as the party continues to play a prominent role in shaping state policy. Educational access has remained a focal point for state administrators seeking to balance development priorities with community needs across Sarawak's various districts and ethnic groups.

Sarawak, Malaysia's largest state by area, has historically grappled with ensuring uniform educational standards and infrastructure across its dispersed population centres. Officials have repeatedly committed to expanding opportunities for learners in both urban and remote areas.
