SARAWAK’S literacy rate is still low at 92% compared to the national figure of 93.5%, says Datuk Seri Fatimah Abdullah.

Speaking after launching a “Train-the-trainer workshop: Adult Literacy” programme, the Sarawak Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Minister wants more literacy programmes to be organised.
