DENGKIL: Two public primary schools, SK Gamuda Cove and SJKC Gamuda Cove, will be built through a collaboration between the Education Ministry and Gamuda Land via a 'donation and construction' effort.
Located in the smart township of Gamuda Cove which spans an area of 1,530 acres, both schools will be developed in two phases and are expected to accommodate up to 2,400 students across 48 classrooms.
The first phase of both schools is targeted to be completed by 2026.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the collaboration is welcomed by the ministry to provide education access to the students.
"This initiative will continue from time to time, taking into account the need for schools in certain areas," she said after officiating the groundbreaking ceremony for two public schools in Bandar Gamuda Cove.
Gamuda chairman Tan Sri Ambrin Buang said when the company planned Gamuda Cove, education was also integrated into its development.
He said the company's vision was to create an urban sanctuary and smart city where people can grow up and grow old.
"These schools are a testament to our commitment to building vibrant, self-sustaining communities where residents can enjoy a high quality of life."
