The Education Director in ||Kharas Region, Jesmine Magermann, has called on school principals to put in concerted efforts to improve learner performance in the region.

She made the call at the annual principals meeting at Keetmanshoop.

The principals gathering analysed the performance of learners in the region, from Grade 1 to AS level, and came up with interventions to improve on the previous academic year examination results and learner performance.

The |Khomas Education Director, Paulus Nghikembua, says improved NSSCO and NSSCAS performances are the result of a deliberate strategy, including induction at schools, heads of departments, principals, and teachers.

The results, Nghikembua says, are representative of quality education, teaching, and learning.

Nghikembua says they are prepared for the new school year, though he adds that there is still a need for capacity building among teachers to ensure the standard of education is upheld.

This, he says, requires collective effort.
