Sibu Tales : Chinese Schools

Where the Fochows settled from 1901 onwards, primary schools would have been set up by the villagers.

Many of the villagers would get together to form a committee and one of the leaders would donate his land to build both a Methodist Church and a primary school.

I would follow up this posting with individual postings on how each primary school developed in the Rajang valley.







This map shows existing Chinese Primary Schools in the 21st century.

So stay tune.
