Maintenance of these workshops and supplying materials as well as refurbishments every 10 or 15 years need stable funds\u2019 flow and donations,\u201d said Oruc\u0327kaptan at the handover of the workshop recently. She said despite the dire financial conditions, the school\u2019s endeavours to keep the premises in good condition are impressive and worth mentioning. Situated in Dorado Park, Windhoek, the school offers grades 5-7 for learners between 14 and 18 years of age, as well as vocational training.<\/p>\n<p>School principal Brian Ndabeni said the pupils have potential, and need access to adequate resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe support is not only a gift to the school, but also a powerful investment in our pupils\u2019 future,\u201d he said, adding that since the establishment in 1965, Pionier Boys School has stood as a beacon of opportunity and an important role model in education in the region. \u201cWe are proud to be the only school in the area, if not the entire country, offering such a comprehensive range of educational programmes, from welding to metal fabrication to plumbing and pipefitting, woodwork, motor mechanics, bricklaying and plastering.<\/p>\n<p>TIKA country coordinator Omer Ozbey said Turkey is trying to address issues of youth unemployment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the most important reasons for high youth unemployment is the lack of a sufficient qualified workforce in the labour market. We believe institutions like this school will make the biggest contribution to solving this problem, and we know that most of the graduates of this school are already contributing to economic development, either as workers or by opening their own businesses and creating new jobs,\u201d said Ozbey.<\/p>\n<p>TIKA is also involved in other projects, including the renovation of the tailoring workshop, library and computer laboratories at the Katutura Multi-Purpose Youth Centre.<\/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.
