Parents and learners are preparing for their return to class by shopping for school uniforms and stationery.

As our news team reports, shops were buzzing as families made their final purchases.

The Acting Education Director for Kavango East says the region is fully prepared for the opening of schools next week.

Lukas Makayi said the region has procured stationery and furniture worth about N$4,5 million  for the 2026 academic year.

Loading zones around Windhoek, particularly those heading to the south, were packed as parents scrambled to get their children back to school ahead of reopening tomorrow.
