To the Iban youth of Sarawak, you hold the key to shaping the future of our community and our region. With your energy, creativity, and potential, you are the bridge between our rich cultural heritage and the promise of progress. Now, more than ever, it is vital to seize the opportunities provided by the Sarawak government and champion the development agendas outlined for our shared prosperity.
Opportunities for Iban Youth in Sarawak’s Development Agenda
Sarawak’s initiatives, such as free tertiary education in 2026 and standardized exams starting in 2025, are more than just policies—they are stepping stones for you to achieve greatness. These programs aim to prepare you with the skills, knowledge, and qualifications needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world. For Iban youth, this represents a chance to rise as leaders and innovators who will contribute to Sarawak’s development.
In rural areas, many of our peers face challenges like limited access to quality education and job opportunities. It is up to us to overcome these hurdles, not just for ourselves, but for our communities. Urban opportunities may seem more accessible, but with determination and the right mindset, Iban youth can also create pathways to success within our villages and towns.
How Iban Youth Can Champion Renewable Energy
It is crucial for Iban youth to align with Sarawak’s aspirations in championing renewable energy. By pursuing education in disciplines like environmental sustainability, renewable energy technologies, and carbon trading, we can position ourselves as leaders in these fields. This ensures that future roles in these critical sectors are filled by skilled Sarawakians who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of our region.
Take inspiration from other countries that have empowered their young people. For instance:
- Rwanda’s YouthConnekt program: Connects youth with resources, mentors, and opportunities to start businesses and contribute to their local economies.
- Estonia’s e-Residency initiative: Helps young entrepreneurs build global businesses by leveraging digital tools.
These examples show how targeted initiatives can transform lives, and Sarawak’s education and development programs have the potential to do the same for us.
Investing in the Future of the Iban Community
Remember, this is not just about personal success; it is about contributing to the greater good of our community and region. By taking up the challenge to lead, innovate, and excel, we honor the sacrifices of our ancestors and pave the way for a brighter future for the Iban people.
Investing in yourself and embracing these opportunities is not just a responsibility but a privilege. Let us rise together and make the most of this moment to shape a prosperous Sarawak where the Iban youth play a pivotal role in driving growth, innovation, and sustainability.
