As mental health challenges rise alongside our fast-paced digital world, the Sarawak government is stepping up. 📢 Starting in 2026, Psychology will be part of the first batch of free university courses — helping meet the growing need for mental health professionals in our society. 💬💚
Sarawak’s Education, Innovation & Talent Development Minister Dato Sri Roland Sagah shared that while not traditionally a STEM course, psychology is essential in today’s world, where economic stress and digital anxiety weigh heavily on many.
💡 “Not everyone needs to be a doctor or engineer. We need legal minds, financial experts — and people who understand the human mind — to build a truly healthy society.”
The free education policy will first roll out in Sarawak-based universities and include:
✅ STEM fields (Science, Medicine, Engineering)
✅ Key practical courses like Law, Finance, Accounting — and now, Psychology too!
This is a targeted move — focused on areas that bring real social & economic value. 🚀
And that’s not all — Sarawak will also support Malaysia’s new TVET framework to grow more skilled, hands-on talent for the future. 🔧🛠️
🗣️ "We're investing in your future so you can learn without worry. But don't waste this chance — apply your knowledge and make a difference!"
📚 Education made accessible. Mental health taken seriously. The future, made brighter.
