The 3rd Junior National Council (JNC) resumed on Monday, continuing its mission since 2017 to provide a platform for school learners from all 14 regions to discuss pressing youth issues at both regional and national levels.

The City of Windhoek inaugurated its 25th Junior Council on Friday, where Ginel Goagoseb was elected Mayor, deputised by Anchor Hoebeb.

The junior council is the consignment of a leadership programme for young people to become great leaders in the future.

A lack of parental involvement in their children's education is said to be one of the reasons for the high failure rate last year.

This was expressed by many of the Junior National Council members during their second sitting in Windhoek.
