(Kuching, 31st) The Padawan District Education Department recently paid a visit to Bandar Kuching MP Chong Chieng Jen to convey their appreciation and recognition.
The department representatives thanked Chong Chieng Jen for his funding support, which enabled the smooth organization of the “Thematic Learning Carnival” to be held at Kuching Polytechnic on August 16, 2025, attracting participation from teachers and students across multiple schools. They said that this event allows students to showcase the results and creativity of their projects and encourages teachers to try innovative methods in teaching, injecting new vitality into education.
The representatives also highly praised Chong Chieng Jen’s initiatives in promoting the Stampin digitalized teaching program and expressed their desire to learn from its success.
Chong pointed out that the program was launched three years ago, initially piloted in Chinese primary schools in the Stampin constituency. It now covers 21 Chinese primary schools and more than 300 classrooms, achieving full installation of smart TV teaching equipment, with a total funding of approximately RM3 million. This year, the program has expanded to national primary and secondary schools, with 15 national primary schools and 4 national secondary schools now gradually installing smart devices.
He stated that the initiative will continue to be implemented next year with the goal of equipping all classrooms in both primary and secondary schools with smart facilities during his tenure, so that students can acquire technological knowledge and skills from an early age and lay a foundation for future learning. He also expressed satisfaction that the Sarawak state government recently announced the provision of smart TV devices for all Chinese primary schools in Sarawak, noting that although this came three years later, it is still a positive development.
Chong Chieng Jen expressed gratitude to all the Padawan District Education Department staff for their long-term dedication, emphasizing that education is the most worthwhile area to invest in and that teachers’ dedication is the cornerstone of a school’s progress. He pledged to continue caring for the equipment and teaching needs of all schools in his constituency, aiming to provide a better teaching environment for teachers and students.
