The Acting Deputy Education Director in the Omaheke Region, Eliakim Kavari, has called upon learners to prioritise their education.

Kavari made this remark about last year's academic results, where the region remained at the bottom of the national ranking statistics. 

Kavari stressed that the ministry is working to ensure a conducive learning and teaching environment in the region.

He said it has been established through various engagements with stakeholders that ill-discipline among learners and a lack of commitment, especially at the secondary level, impact the results.

The acting Deputy Director of Education says that 99% of the schools in the region have hostel accommodations and qualified teachers; hence, it is time for learners to work hard and obtain good results.

Kavari also pleaded with parents to form a formidable partnership with teaching support staff to ensure that the region obtains better results by the end of the year. 

Omaheke Region has a population of about 30,000 registered learners for this academic year at 47 schools.
