He said the project located in Sook, a district in the interior, about 145km south of Kota Kinabalu, was an initiative of the Ministry of Education (MOE) to develop comfortable and safe education infrastructure throughout the country, including Sabah and Sarawak.
“The project is a realisation of my ambitions and the MoE to build a full-fledged school in the Tiulon Youth Plan Village as a measure to accommodate the growing demand of the local community.
“This reflects the commitment of the Unity Government in education based on the needs of the people to ensure that students have infrastructure and a comfortable educational environment to achieve optimal development,” he said after a ground-breaking ceremony for the project, here, Saturday.
Meanwhile, Arthur said so far, in the Pensiangan Parliamentary seat, four rundown schools - SK Inandung, SK Simbuan, SK Penagatan and SJK (C) Cheng Ming - have been upgraded and handed over to the school managements.
