The colonial period in the state of Sabah is divided into three, namely the Borneo Chartered Company Administration Period (1881-1941), the Japanese Administration Period (1942-1945), and the British Colonial Period (1945-1963). Every era of this colonial era administration gave profit to the government in the state of Sabah at that time. The Borneo Chartered Administration period introduced British policies by adding more schools with English elements and likewise during the Japanese Administration period which began to eliminate the British influence in the state of Sabah by introducing Japanese elements such as Japanese patriotic songs, the Japanese language to elevate the Japanese nation itself. Seen the Japanese era in the state of Sabah was a bit of a mess due to the war so the development of education was slow and too little attention was given. The situation is improving and the government is taken over by the British Military Army (BMA) and begins to focus little by little on the aspect of educational rehabilitation in the state of Sabah. BMA started organizing long-term plans and was seen to be more structured in managing education in the state of Sabah. However, the situation is not so perfect because every government only wants to make a profit and is not the main aim of developing education. Therefore, education in the state of Sabah has been slow to receive development since before Malaysia was formed by the ruling government.
