PAPAR: The State Government is very committed towards strengthening the education agenda in Sabah.

“This is the government’s best effort and approach to generate human capital in line with the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) direction.
“Through this TPNS, where the Sabah Foundation Group is the main driving force, the government will ensure that these facilities really reach the target group.
“Therefore, Sabah’s local children who are qualified but less fortunate, should take advantage of this facility, so that later Sabah can have high quality human capital in order to drive development in the future,” he said.
He also urged educators to focus on the quality aspect in developing an education agenda for children.
