Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>PRESIDENT Hage Geingob has called for the urgent acceleration of plans to construct classrooms.<\/p>\n

This is part of short-term remedial measures he recommended after studying the 2022 Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary (NSSCO) and Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Advanced Subsidiary (NSSCAS) level examination results report by education minister Anna Nghipondoka.<\/p>\n

Geingob said this in a statement issued on Thursday by state house spokesperson Alfredo Hengari.<\/p>\n

Geingob noted that the education sector faces a shortage of classrooms which stems from the government’s decision to provide free education.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese reforms are the hallmark of the Namibian education sector, and its success in opening up access to education for every child has resulted in an increase in enrolment figures, leading to a shortage of classrooms that is being experienced nationwide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The call comes days after his meeting with Nghipondoka.<\/p>\n

Hengari said the report was studied by Geingob, minister in the presidency Christine \/\/Hoebes and finance minister Iipumbu Shiimi.<\/p>\n

He did not elaborate on recommendations to avoid a repeat of the 2022 examination outcome, nor what will happen to the over 30 000 pupils who failed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president emphasised that it remains the duty of all stakeholders in the education sector, including parents, teachers, learners and the government, to strengthen coordination for the continuous improvement of this sector towards a desirable and healthy performance outcome,\u201d said Hengari.<\/p>\n

He said Geingob cautioned against blame-shifting and called for all in the education fraternity to join hands with the government in delivering quality education.<\/p>\n
