(Bakan, 15th) In support of the development of SK Nanga Dayu, including its preschool education, Lubok Antu Member of Parliament Dato’ Sun Wei Xuan has allocated RM18,099 to the school.
He stated that the funds will be used for the school to purchase smart TVs and conduct various educational activities, as well as to provide special assistance for the preschool class at SK Nanga Dayu.
Speaking at the school's dormitory open day event yesterday, Sun Wei Xuan encouraged students to focus on their studies, build strong character and good personal qualities, and enhance their learning spirit.
Meanwhile, he also expressed concern over the declining number of students at the school, a situation especially faced by rural schools.
He pointed out that current changes in lifestyle, including rising living costs and both parents needing to work, have led to smaller family sizes, thereby impacting school enrollment rates.
He said, “This trend is not only happening in Lubok Antu, but is a global phenomenon. This year, the number of new students is lower than last year.”
He predicts that over the next 10 to 20 years, as student numbers continue to decrease, the number of schools may reduce and some schools may eventually be merged.
Therefore, he also hopes that parents will continue to strongly support their children, encourage them to participate in tuition classes, and engage with new fields such as STEM and digital learning.
