Chief Minister Hajiji Noor today announced that the Sabah government is considering providing free education for local students who further their studies at state-owned higher learning institutions, namely University College Yayasan Sabah (UCSF) and Kolej Teknologi Yayasan Sabah (KTYS).

He said the state also plans to introduce a loan subsidy policy, particularly for National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN) and Yayasan Sabah loans, to ease the financial burden on students.
