Africa-Press – Namibia. The President of the Republic of Namibia, His Excellency Dr. Hage G. Geingob has taken note of the worrying outcome of the final results of the NSSCO AND NSSCAS examinations as announced by the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture. In that vein, President Geingob expressed dissatisfaction with the results on 3 January 2023 and informed the nation that the Minister of Education had been requested to provide a report detailing what had transpired and the reasons for the dismal results.
The President has listened attentively to all the stakeholders who expressed themselves publicly and would like to inform Namibians that as President and Chairperson of the Cabinet, ultimate responsibility and accountability to the nation with regard to the affairs of Offices/Ministries/Agencies resides in him.
The President would like to reassure Namibians that following receipt of the report from the Minister of Education, Arts and Culture, Hon Anna Nhgipondoka, in the spirit of holding hands, the necessary decisions and actions will be taken to advance the interests of teachers, learners and the education sector in general.
As a former teacher, President Geingob is highly attentive to the needs of teachers and the role they play in the education and well being of our children, including the betterment of Namibia. The President has always said that it is because of a teacher and education in general that the son of a farmworker becomes the President of a country and the daughter of a domestic worker becomes a medical doctor. Therefore, the President would like to appeal to all stakeholders, specifically the teachers, the learners, the parents, the Ministry of Education and the unions to avoid blaming one another for the dismal results, which everyone agrees are not in the interests of the country. Such an approach of blaming one another is not helpful.
After the report is tabled and the necessary decisions are taken, President Geingob is convinced that as a Government, as teachers, as parents, as learners, as unions and as student organizations, common solutions will be found to avoid a repeat of the dismal results of the 2022 Academic Year.
