Abstract

In the context of transnational economy, Sabah and Sarawak stand out as exemplary models where there can be opportunities for children of Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) to pursue formal education. In 2023, the statistics show that there are 22,745 students in Community Learning Centres (CLCs) across Sabah and Sarawak. In addition to the number of student enrolment, this also indicates that there is a large number of CLCs that have been established. Hitherto there is little research on this phenomenon, if at all. Against this backdrop, this article has a three-prong objective: (1) to identify the types of CLCs (2) to examine the characteristics of the CLCs? (3) to highlight the differences between the various CLCs and their peculiarities. Multi-centric concept can be applied and defined as transnational relations where there are variety of “centric” that lead toward the establishment of educational institutions for children of Indonesian migrant workers in Sabah, Malaysia. This qualitative research uses deductive research strategy as a logic of inquiry to explore the variety of “centric” among educational institutions in Sabah. Among the key findings are each CLC has a different history and multi-centric actors that led to its existence. Thus, CLC Non-Ladang seem to have a more unique history of their existence that has yet to be explored deeply.
