沈桂贤促请联邦尽快下放教育自主权

砂副总理兼石角区议员拿督阿玛沈桂贤促请联邦政府,特别是教育部认真和尽快处理砂拉越政府提出的下放教育自主权事宜。 他说,这项自主权对砂拉越,尤其是未来教育发展至关重要,因此联邦政府必须按照ma63契约履行任务。 “这项工作我们已经向联邦政府多次发达了砂拉越政府的意愿,因此不宜有任何推卸责任的借口,必须要尽快和认真处理。” 沈桂贤是移交今年第一笔拨款给石角多间华小、国小及国中与独中期间,与相关学校董事及老师交流时,表达了砂拉越政府争取教育自主权的立场。 沈桂贤说,一旦砂拉越政府获得教育自主权,砂拉越政府便会根据砂拉越情况和需要处理相关的教育重任。 提到有关拨款,他表示,这是作为相关学校老师的活动与福利经费。 “从2016年开始迄今,拨款作为关照教师福利是其中一项举措,而有关拨款主要是作为老师的福利及活动经费,一年都会拨款两次,即年初和年底。” 亦是砂地方政府及房屋部长的沈桂贤说,许多学校都会在年终举行各项活动,而老师则需要一些经费来策划活动或提升现有的福利项目。 他表示,通过拨款给学校老师作为他们的福利经费,也可以减轻校董会的经济负担。 “这类的拨款不是作为兴建、维修校舍,而是作为老师的福利、活动经费,包括让他们购买一些饮品、干粮放在办公室补充精力。” 沈桂贤指出,这是他身为该区议员照顾老师的另一种管道和方式。毕竟老师常年为教育,培育学生付出及贡献,因此他们的福利绝对不能忽视。 随着肺炎疫情再次爆发,沈桂贤也赠送口罩给学校及学生,并敦促大家做好防疫措施。
