The terrible, crumbling state of rural schools in Sarawak has been abuzz in the news of late, with many reporting on how these dangerous schools are still running, just for the sake of the hopeful students
Despite many years of election promises to improve the state of these public schools, much has not been done to make significant improvements that will actually change the sad state of the schools in rural parts of Sarawak.

Sarawak, despite being one of the biggest contributors to the Malaysian economy, has been left with schools that are truly in shambles.
To put things in perspective, imagine schools with unfinished renovation projects and rickety roofs that come crashing down, summing up a dangerous studying environment.

To address this worrying problem, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, yesterday, 6 January, announced that the government will be taking on a special project to refurbish six schools in Sarawak with the Industrialised Building System (IBS)
Industrialised Building System was introduced in Malaysia to increase cost and time efficiency in the local construction industry
This cost-effective and labour saving method basically works by using prefabricated materials during construction works. The contractors only need to order and purchase the needed items, all pre-made off the site to be assembled during the construction process.
