Adapted from : The History of Education System in Sarawak<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the formation of Malaysia in 1963, the education system was under the supervision of the local government and was confined to primary education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the formation of Malaysia in 1963, the Malaysian Government inherited a unique education scenario from the Colonial Office, where various changes in the education system happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 1982, all Government and aided English primary schools had been converted into primary schools using Bahasa Malaysia as the main medium of instruction and by 1989, all Government and aided English Secondary Schools up to Form Six were fully converted into national secondary schools using Bahasa Malaysia as the main medium of instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tertiary education is given a high priority in Sarawak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally a village known as Muara Tuang, Kota Samarahan is now known as a medical and education hub in Sarawak as it is a dwelling place for universities, research centers as well as medical facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the education and healthcare facilities that are available in the area includes Universiti Malaysia Sarawak<\/a>,\u00a0Universiti Teknologi MARA Kota Samarahan Campus<\/a>\u00a0(2 campuses), Institute of Teacher Education (Tun Abdul Razak Campus, Kota Samarahan Industrial Training Institute (ILPKS) and Institut Tadbiran Awam Negara (INTAN) Kampus Wilayah Sarawak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
