Ruimte Primary School has won the inaugural Hardap Regional Senior Primary Schools Spelling Bee Competition, which brought together 40 Grade Seven learners from 24 schools across the region.

The competition aims to strengthen literacy, expand learners' vocabulary and improve academic performance.

Education, Innovation, Youth, Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Sanet Steenkamp has expressed concern over the Oshana Region's poor performance at the Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Advance Subsidiary, NSSCAS level.

The region was ranked 14th.

The NamPower Foundation has fenced off Alpha, Otjerunda, Orumana, and Ehomba Combined Schools in the Kunene Region at a cost of more than N$3 million.
