Namibia has been urged to address the digital divide between urban and rural schools to ensure equal access to technology and improve learning outcomes.

Learners of Angra Pequena Senior Secondary School have welcomed the school's AI tutoring programme, saying it boosted learner performance outcomes. 

The learners furthermore find that the AI tutoring programme has also enhanced their critical thinking. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made its way into the classroom of the Angra Pequena Senior Secondary School in Luderitz, where learners now have access to an AI-powered tutor programme. 

For many years, rural schools were left behind in digital learning.

This is now changing, as more schools invest in computer labs and adapt to curriculum changes that include ICT as a subject.

Namibia National Reinsurance Corporation (NamibRe) donated digital projectors valued at N$100,000 to Oshikunde Combined School in the Ohangwena Region.

There is a need to expose learners to new technology and to keep up with new learning trends.

This was the call by Oshana Governor Hofni Iipinge at the annual education stakeholders' conference at Ongwediva, meant for them to take stock and address challenges.

The Ministry of Education's Department of Adult Education has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting digital education among adult learners and early school dropouts. 

This was shared during the commemoration of the Adult Education Week at Rundu.

In a significant boost to digital education in northern Namibia, Spreader Fishing handed over ICT equipment to schools in the Kunene Region. 

The donation includes seven pairs of ICT equipment and is set to benefit seven schools in the Kunene, Omusati and Ohangwena regions. 

The Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture has launched an initiative aimed at increasing access to high-quality, curriculum-aligned digital content for teaching and learning.
