Teachers at Minna Sachs Primary School say they feel threatened by the parents who are picketing in front of the school. 

Parents of learners at Keetmanshoop-based Minna Sachs Primary School disrupted classes for nearly two hours on Monday.

They protested at the school gate and blocked the newly appointed principal from entering the school premises. 

The Head of Academic Affairs at the University of Namibia's Southern Campus has called on prospective students to apply for the Early Childhood and Junior Primary courses.

The Education Inspector in the Omaheke Region, Eliakim Kavari, says the region's poor examination results and poor performance in national rankings are serious concerns.
