Sabah Minister of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, YB Datuk James Ratib, has accepted the invitation to officiate the 2026 School Management Appreciation Ceremony (MAPenS) at the Sandakan District Education Office (PPD) level which took place in full glory at the SMJK Tiong Hua Sandakan Hall.

YB Datuk James Ratib expressed his highest congratulations and well wishes to all educators, school leadership, parents and students for the improved performance of SPM and STPM 2025 in Sandakan District. The increase in the SPM District Average Grade (GPD) from 5.06 to 4.87 and the STPM Overall Grade Point Average (CGPA) from 2.86 to 2.92 proves that the commitment and cooperation of all parties continues to bear fruit.

This success is not the end, but rather a catalyst to continue to strengthen the culture of excellence, empower innovation in teaching and learning, and produce a generation that is creative, competitive, and ready to face the digital era and artificial intelligence (AI).

The Sabah State Government will continue to be committed to strengthening the education sector through various initiatives such as BUDI, BAIK, BAKTI and BAGUS to ensure that no Sabah child is left out of enjoying quality education.
