TELUPID – SK Ulu Ansuan headmaster George Odol, who spent over three years staying in a school storeroom, gladly shared the efforts by the government through the Education Ministry to upgrade the school’s facilities.
In a post on the Malaysia Mendidik Facebook page, George said a total of RM12.5 million had been allocated by the government to upgrade the school’s facilities.
In fact, he said the construction of four new teachers’ quarters units was approved through Budget 2024.
According to him, as a short-term solution, the ministry had allocated RM200,000 to carry out maintenance work on the existing seven units of teachers’ quarters at the school, which were fully completed yesterday.
“The ministry’s short-term and long-term solutions will be able to end the issue of lack of facilities at the school such as teachers’ quarters in the near future,” he said while expressing his gratitude to the government and the ministry for their efforts to help the school.
