Witbooi also said education is critical for personal growth and the socio-economic development of the community and country as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>She further said education is essential for a happy life, as it empowers and inspires one\u2019s mind to create positive thoughts and ideas as well as expand one\u2019s knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is, thus, my clarion call that you should remain in school and strive to always do your best,\u201d Witbooi concluded.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Hardap regional education director Gerhard Ndafenongo said the school is close to his heart due to its remoteness and socio-economic circumstances of underprivileged learners.<\/p>\n<p>Ndafenongo expressed his profound gratitude towards the Office of the First Lady for coming on board and assisting the vulnerable children at the most appropriate time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEducation is, however, a shared responsibility; thus, it requires full commitment from learners, teachers and parents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>As a token of inspiring the learners, Swapo party Hardap coordinator Elizabeth Kharigus pledged a monetary award of N$1 000 for the best-performing grade 7 learner in the examinations slated for later this year.<\/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.
