AI basics will be formally included in primary-school Digital Technology under the 2027 school curriculum, before being reinforced at secondary level, the Education Ministry told Parliament on Oct 29. For Kuching families, the change concerns what pupils will learn, rather than a new standalone AI examination. See Hua Daily News reported that the curriculum will cover more than technical skills: pupils are to learn to check information, question doubtful answers and exercise judgment. The ministry also outlined offline learning approaches for rural and remote pupils facing connectivity problems. That matters for Sarawak communities where an Internet-dependent lesson would be difficult to follow; it is not a claim that every school has already received new digital equipment. The announcement was made during Minister’s Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat in Kuala Lumpur. It described a national curriculum direction, not a Kuching-only programme or a separate timetable for Sarawak schools. Teacher preparation remains part of the wider rollout. The Star reported that 329,414 teachers nationwide had received AI training, with training continuing. That national total does not identify how many trained teachers are in Sarawak or establish that every local school is ready for the same level of classroom use.
