Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>THE Students Union of Namibia (SUN) has appealed to the higher education ministry to open more vocational training centres to provide schools with furniture and create jobs.<\/p>\n

During a press conference in Windhoek on Friday, SUN president Benhard Kavau said<\/p>\n

technical and vocational education and training (TVET) centres should be empowered to manufacture pupils’ shoes and class furniture.<\/p>\n

He was referring to the appropriation bill whereby the higher education ministry was allocated N$3,8 billion and basic education N$16,8 billion.<\/p>\n

Kavau said this money should be focused on post instructors’ education, training and upskilling (in-country and abroad) to enrich them with professional and technical knowledge in new economic niche areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet Kavango region have a TVET centre that will make chairs and tables to give to learners at school.<\/p>\n

“We cannot accept that after more than 30 years of independence that learners are sitting on the floor,\u201d Kavau said.<\/p>\n

The union’s acting secretary for basic education, arts and culture, Hilma Amadhila, further pleaded for the ministry to increase the NSFAF amount.<\/p>\n

The union urged the prompt disposal of money to NSFAF to reduce delays in payments.<\/p>\n

Amadhila said the ministry should aim to separate the amount allocated to a sector to indicate how much must be used for what.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the money is put together, we don’t know what the money is used for because we don’t see any improvements,\u201d Amadhila said.<\/p>\n

The union appealed to the ministry to hasten the construction of more classes and pupil accommodation in order to avoid poor performance of Grade 11 and 12 pupils.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to see to it that the Universal Primary Education grant (UPE) is paid to schools on time: we want to see quick appointments of qualified teachers in the ministry,\u201d said Amadhila.<\/p>\n
