The Education Deputy Director in Omaheke, Eliakim Kavari, has reaffirmed the government's commitment to ensuring equal access to education, emphasising that no child should be denied learning opportunities due to financial constraints. 

Kavari says the Ministry of Education continues to support learners by providing stationery, ensuring that children are able to attend school and learn without placing a financial burden on parents and guardians.

He revealed that the ministry has supplied tables and chairs to high schools across the region to improve learning conditions.

"We were given more than N$2 million from the government for the stationery. We have dispatched to schools to buy stationery; they have the evidence. The inspector, his hands on, is verifying this issue with the stationery. This is where we are informing the principal that they must not force parents to bring up the issue of the principal forcing parents to pay school fees. We had a few issues, and we discussed them."

In addition, the government has provided 40 computers to Winnie du Plessis High School to support AS-level research and strengthen digital learning.

Speaking on the development, the principal of Winnie Du Plesis Secondary School, Albert Tjamuaha, welcomed the support, saying the ministry has done its part in providing resources. 

Tjamuaha added that the responsibility now lies with schools and learners to deliver excellent academic results and improve overall performance in the region.

"It's maybe also worth mentioning that we also received the 40 computers earlier on for the AS researcher system. We are very delighted that the government at least is coming forth now; we must just produce."
