Residents of Kakira Mupepo are calling on the government to urgently construct an additional block of classrooms at Kakira Mupepo Primary School in the Zambezi Region, citing safety concerns over a temporary clay structure that is repeatedly damaged by rain.

Grootfontein Education Circuit Inspector Markus Munenge has announced that construction works for schools and classroom blocks in the circuit are going well and nearing completion.

Munenge made the remarks at the groundbreaking of a new hostel for Otjiwanda Secondary School.

The WJD Cloete Combined School at Rietoog about 120 kilometres south of Rehoboth, has received a classroom block and storage facility at a cost of one-comma-four million dollars.

The Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sports, Arts, and Culture has officially inaugurated a new block of four classrooms and a storeroom at Liswani III Primary School in the Katima Mulilo Rural Constituency.
 

The Education Directorate in the Zambezi Region has closed down Caprivi Senior Secondary School for two days to prevent a sewage spill. 

 Education Inspector for Katima Mulilo Circuit, Rosco Lukubwe, said the school closure will allow the Works Department and Town Council to unblock the system.

Hostel learners at Caprivi Senior Secondary School boycotted lunch at the dining hall this afternoon after sewage infested the path from the hostel.

They claim that the ongoing issue, unresolved for over three years, poses health risks.

The Ohangwena Directorate of Education urgently requires about N$2.4 billion to address serious infrastructure shortages in schools across the region.

Over 300 learners at Mutwarantja Primary School in the Kavango East Region have missed nearly three weeks of classes due to proper toilet facilities.

Overcrowded classrooms, a lack of proper furniture, inadequate financial resources, and insufficient infrastructure development remain a challenge to many schools in Erongo, contributing to high failure rates.
 

Days before school reopens, the Joy Mungungu Senior Primary School at Rundu is left without functional toilets.

This comes after the donor pulled out due to a breach of the agreement.

The primary school was established by community members before government intervention.
