Key Trends and Highlights
- Higher Education Growth: The University of Technology Sarawak (UTS) saw rapid growth, increasing from 1,438 students in 2020 to over 5,000 students by September 2025.
Based on initial 2026 projections and the launch of the Sarawak Free Tertiary Education Scheme (FTES), the following are key details regarding undergraduate student numbers in Sarawak:
Total Initial FTES Beneficiaries: A total of 4,693 Sarawakian students are expected to begin their undergraduate studies in early 2026 (February/March) under the newly implemented FTES.
Targeted Growth: The number of students under this scheme is projected to increase annually for 2027 and 2028. Some projections suggest the scheme could eventually benefit around 10,000 students.
Participating Institutions: The 2026 intake covers 64 programmes at four state-owned universities: Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak, Curtin University Malaysia, University of Technology Sarawak (UTS), and i-CATS University College.
Key Institution Enrolments:
UTS: Enrolment is expected to hit 5,000 by 2026, reaching its full capacity.
UNIMAS: Recorded 4,119 new students for the 2025/2026 session.
i-CATS: Targeting an increase to 3,000 students within two years.
Additional Benefits: Eligible students with a household income of RM1,500 per capita or below may receive a RM15,000 stipend, including accommodation support.
These figures represent the initial 2026 intake under the free education initiative.
Business Proposition: Capitalizing on Evolving Educational Demand in Sarawak
Context:
The Sarawak state government’s current policy of free tertiary education is expected to elevate academic competition, particularly for entry into STEM programmes at the undergraduate level. This will likely raise the required examination scores for pre-university qualifications such as A-Levels, STPM, and UEC.
Opportunity:
As competition for limited government-sponsored university placements increases, demand for high-quality tuition services—specifically for pre-university STEM subjects—is projected to grow significantly. In anticipation of more stringent selection criteria for free education schemes, students will seek targeted academic support to enhance their competitiveness.
Strategic Response:
Our tuition centre is positioned to meet this rising demand by:
- Offering specialised, outcome-focused tuition programmes for pre-university STEM subjects.
- Implementing a selective intake process to attract and develop high-potential students.
- Pursuing accreditation or certification from recognized UK educational bodies to enhance programme credibility and outcomes.
- Directing marketing efforts toward SPM leavers, who represent the primary pipeline for A-Level and equivalent programmes.
Long-term Outlook:
We anticipate that government-sponsored tertiary education will become increasingly selective. By aligning our services with the need for academic excellence in pre-university pathways, we aim to establish our centre as a key partner for students aspiring to secure state-funded undergraduate education in Sarawak.
