Education
editTwo schools were built near the village. SK St John, Taee, was established in the 1930s as the primary school in the village and SMK Taee (also known as SMK Batu Ajung) was built a few kilometres from the village and situated at the foot of Mount Sadong in the 1980s for students to further their education. Before SMK Taee was established, most students had to attend other secondary schools such as Dragon School (now known as Kolej Tun Abdul Razak/SMK Tun Abdul Razak) while others furthered their study in Kuching at schools such as SMK St. Thomas.
