KUALA LUMPUR: Some 912 of the 1,298 government schools in Sabah have functioning electricity supply, the Dewan Rakyat was told.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said an allocation of RM54,350,704 was channeled for maintenance work across 1,144 government schools in Sabah last year.
As of June this year, she said RM 101,791,833 was channeled to 458 government schools in the state, for maintenance and infrastructure repair works.
She added that RM1,130,000 was allocated for works comprising the pump and sewage systems, piping, gutters, grains and electrical wiring at schools in Tawau.
“The ministry is committed towards ensuring conducive and functioning education infrastructure for all students and schools throughout Sabah,” she said in a written reply on Thursday (Aug 21).
Fadhlina added that Facility Condition Assessments are also carried out at government schools that were 70 years old and above, including schools in Sabah.
She was responding to a question by Datuk Lo Su Fui (GRS-Tawau) who asked about electrical supply and wiring works at schools in Sabah.
