The Otjiwarongo Constituency in the Otjozondjupa Region has come to the aid of school-going children with a donation of stationery.

Erongo Governor Neville Andre is urging high school learners in the region to set their ambitions high for success through hard work to obtain better results.

The announcement of exam results is a joyous occasion for many learners, however, others are forced to stare failure in the face. 

A local social worker says that even though parents and guardians might be disappointed, they should resist the urge to punish those who have failed.

Otjozondjupa Acting Education Director Uerivangera Tjivikua says they will exhaust all possible avenues to ensure that all children secure space in schools.

Rural urban migration takes place at a fast pace in the Otjozondjupa Region, especially in Okahandja, Otjiwarongo, and Grootfontein.

Many learners do not have guidance at home and, as a result, attend school under the influence of drugs or alcohol, a situation that is undesirable and discouraging to teachers.

The Mayuni Secondary School learners in the Zambezi Region received more than 110 bicycles worth N$500,000 over the weekend.

The bicycles were handed over to learners by African Monarch Lodges, operating in the Mayuni and Mashi conservancies.

Education is a shared responsibility, and parents are called upon to support schools and teachers in maintaining discipline, which will positively contribute to their academic performance.

Teachers at rural schools should overcome many challenges to produce great results in terms of learner performance.

This was emphasised during the Kandjimi Circuit and Kavango West teachers conference held at Nkurenkuru.

Ohamba yOukwanyama Martha ya Nelumbu has urged the youth to prioritise education and acquire knowledge that will prepare them for successful careers.

Learners at Chairman Mao Zedong High School are urged to take up careers in line with their passion and the availability of opportunities in the country.

These were the sentiments of Education Director Paulus Nghikembua at the |Khomas Region Career Fair.
