KUCHING: Sarawak’s proposed international schools are meant to prepare students for the future with the necessary language and technological skills, says Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.

He said the schools would not replace national schools but provide an alternative for bright students, especially those from rural and low-income backgrounds.
