Some teachers at Mburuuru Primary School in the Katjinakatji circuit in Kavango West region have taken the initiative of accommodating learners, who are traveling long distances at their homesteads.

Mbururu Primary School does not have a hostel, hence teachers decided to accommodate their learners during weekdays.

It was decided last year that Mbururu Primary School would admit grade five learners from one of its feeding schools, Sava Primary School.

This was because that school was no longer going to cater for Grade 5 learners.

The school management and parents could not afford to send the learners to other schools and they most likely going to sit at home that academic year due to a lack of financial resources for the long distance.

According to the Principal of Mbururu Primary School Emersiana Siteketa.

The school indicated that there are still 25 more learners who are in dire need of accommodation.

In the meeting, parents agreed that each household makes a contribution of 100 Dollars towards building materials to construct decent structures.

Meanwhile, the school and the parents are appealing to good Samaritans to assist the learners, as they are in need of building materials, beds, mattresses, food, and school uniforms.
