The document provides a breakdown of data presented by Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh to the Dewan Rakyat, explaining that the Education Ministry has successfully reduced the vacancy rate from 17,524 units in November 2024 to 15,312 units by September 2026. The text elaborates on the strategies employed to repurpose these assets, including converting units for shared use, renting them to private agencies, transferring them to relevant government departments, and disposing of unsafe structures. Additionally, it addresses specific concerns regarding abandoned quarters in the Kuala Krau constituency, noting that some facilities have reached a state where repair costs are deemed prohibitive. The information serves as a formal update on the management of educational infrastructure assets and efforts to optimize government-provided staff housing.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/over-15000-teacher-quarters-nationwide-unoccupied-education-ministry-report/648919/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/over-15000-teacher-quarters-nationwide-unoccupied-education-ministry-report/648919.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"SANS","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-23",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":22},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"How many teacher quarters were unoccupied as of September 24, 2026?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"As of September 24, 2026, there were 15,312 unoccupied teacher quarters nationwide.","Answer",{"name":65,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":66},"What measures has the Education Ministry taken to address the high number of vacant quarters?",{"text":67,"@type":63},"The Ministry has occupied some units with its own staff, rented others to private agencies, converted some for alternative uses, transferred units to other agencies, and disposed of structures that were no longer safe.",{"name":69,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":70},"What was the status of vacant teacher quarters in November 2024?",{"text":71,"@type":63},"In November 2024, there were 17,524 vacant teacher quarters, indicating a reduction over the following two years.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":74,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":76,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":78,"site_id":7},648919,1792796151,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":82},"success",[83,87,91,95,100,105,110,114,119,122,126],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":84,"show_sort_weight":85,"slug":86},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":88,"show_sort_weight":89,"slug":90},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":92,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":96,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":101,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":106,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":107,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":111,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},8,30,"research-report",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":121},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":125},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":129},19,"General","general",{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":131},{"doc_id":78,"user_id":132,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":111,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":22,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":22,"language":139,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":79,"read_time":30},962090760505,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_155a257f0dc6eb9ab79c44ca47cae57d","SEKTOR DOKUMENTASI PENDIDIKAN  \nBPPDP, Kementerian Pendidikan Aras SB-4, Blok EB, Kompleks E,  \nPusat Pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan 62604 Putrajaya.  \nTel : 03-8884 6425  \nFaks : 03-8884 6284  \nTARIKH : 23 OKTOBER 2026 (JUMAAT)  \nBERITA HARIAN O UTUSAN M'SIA 0 N.
