Anglican Bishop of Kuching Danald Jute says vernacular and mission schools in Sarawak have difficulty obtaining funds from the federal government.
Jute said the Sarawak government has made state funds easily accessible through the Unit for Other Religions , the Borneo Post reported. “We know that government schools get plenty of allocations to improve their facilities. Other schools have the opportunity to access these funds too, but not without a lot of difficulties,” he was quoted as saying while officiating the St Columba’s 94th Patronal Day at the school yesterday.
“For a mission school such as St Columba’s, I am confident that every sen channelled by the government would be used fully. The government should not worry or have any suspicion about how the funds would be utilised by the schools.”
