Kavango East Regional Education Director, Christine Shilima, says the academic performance of learners in Grades 1, 2 and 3 is a cause for concern.

Deputy Director for Lifelong Learning Herbert Karapo has called on educators in the Kavango West Region to strengthen accountability and consistency in teaching, while congratulating stakeholders for improved academic results.

The Namibia National Teachers Union (NANTU) in the Erongo Region says teachers should not be blamed for the poor 2025 academic results, saying systemic challenges within the education system are the real cause.
