177 Sabah Schools Still Await Fibre Internet, but Have Other Connections

Sabah has 177 schools that have not yet switched to fibre-optic internet, representing 14% of schools in the state, according to figures presented in Parliament on 11 November 2026.

Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said schools without fibre were nevertheless supplied with internet through wireless broadband or satellite technology. The figures therefore describe a gap in connection type, not 177 schools with no internet at all.

Bernama and Business Today reported the same Sabah figures from his Dewan Rakyat reply. The reports did not identify the individual schools or provide a Sabah-specific fibre completion date.

For families and educators, the next useful questions are which schools will be upgraded and how reliable their current connections are. A fibre-coverage count alone does not measure the day-to-day experience in every classroom.

根据2026年11月11日在国会公布的数据，沙巴有177所学校尚未转用光纤网络，占州内学校的14%。

教育部副部长黄家和表示，尚未配备光纤的学校，仍通过无线宽频或卫星技术获得互联网服务。因此，这组数字反映的是连接方式的差异，并不代表177所学校完全没有网络。

马新社与Business Today对这项国会答复的报道，均列出相同的沙巴数据。报道没有列明个别学校，也没有提供沙巴光纤升级全部完成的具体日期。

对家长与教育工作者而言，接下来值得关注的是哪些学校将获升级，以及现有连接是否稳定。单凭光纤覆盖数量，无法判断每间课室的日常上网体验。
