She said good infrastructure is important in schools because it aids in the production of good performances by learners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese classrooms will improve the attendance of our learners, compared to the mud structure that they normally used. The new classrooms will also help the teachers improve the performance of the region and contribute to the economy of the country,\u201d added Museke.<\/p>\n<p>The DBN\u2019s Jerome Mutumba handed over the new classrooms to the school\u2019s management team, observing that the structures will help learners have a proper and effective learning opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen an opportunity like this one was presented, we had to find a way to help the community and get involved. This was an investment into the citizens of Maunga and in the future of learners, as education is important,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He further called on staff members and learners to take care of the facilities in order to ensure that others would still be able to make use of them 10 years later.<\/p>\n<p>School inspector for the Chinchimane circuit Roscow Lukubwe stated that the donation is highly appreciated, given that \u201cas a ministry, we are unable to provide resources for all the learners across the country because the resources we have are limited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The community were thankful, but still asked for further assistance in order to ensure electricity supply to the two classrooms as well as to the teachers\u2019 residences. They further asked for ablution facilities at the school, as there are none.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, they requested the education ministry to consider upgrading the school to grade seven so that the learners will not have to walk over seven kilometres to the nearest school with upper-primary level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
