The Minister of Education, Arts, and Culture, Anna Nghipondoka, urged the newly appointed board members to prioritise transparency and foster collaborative efforts for the promising future of NAMCOL.

In inaugurating the nine-member board, Nghipondoka mentioned that the Ministry envisions NAMCOL's evolution into an open university.

Evelyn Namoya, David Jarrett, Rachel Kalipi, Evelina Nsinano, John Kauhanda, Dr. Heroldt Murangi, and Sanet Steenkamp are new members of the board of directors.

"Members of the new board of governors, corporate governance, especially in a country like Namibia, is not just a necessity but a moral imperative. It ensures that NAMCOL operates ethically, transparently, and in full compliance with the laws of our land."

Nghipondoka stated that while the aspiration of establishing NAMCOL as a university is in progress, their dedication to secondary education remains steadfast.
