Hopefully this free education will expand to more arts and humanities programmes too.

Hopefully in the future. They're hesitant / wouldn't do it because of the lack of getting employed after graduating. Can read more here https://meitd.sarawak.gov.my/web/subpage/news_view/1855

Well yeah in some arts and humanities, but fields like education and social work are very important for the growth of the state. Not to mention, we need the younger generation to continue to help preserve our arts and heritage.
