Kota Kinabalu: The Gabungan Rakyat Sabah-Barisan Nasional (GRS-BN) Government will be launching the Sabah Education Fund (TPNS) next month, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor announced Monday.

He said the setting up of TPNS is to enable more Sabahan children to have opportunities to further their studies at institutions of higher learning either locally or abroad.

“The establishment of TPNS is one of the initiatives in the Sabah Foundation Group Strategic Transformation Plan 2015-2023.

“It is also in line with one of the thrusts of the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) which is to improve human capital development and the wellbeing of the people,” said Hajiji, who is also State Finance Minister, when officiating the State-level Teachers’ Day celebration at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), here.
