Education and human capital development to increase efficiency of workers and helps economies to move up the value chain
Education is a critical component of human capital development to increase efficiency of workers and helps economies to move up the value chain. The establishment of strategic partnership with industries and stakeholders will prepare our human capital to match Sarawak’s current and future job requirements as well as to address disparity in quality education. The key initiatives include the formation of Human Capital Development Council and strengthening Sarawak Workforce Information System (SWIS) to identify and close the workforce demand-supply gap, establishment of Science Centre to cultivate and increase interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and development of 5 International Schools to cater for bright rural students.
