Two blocks of classrooms and a storeroom, constructed by the Japanese and Namibian governments, to the tune of N$1,1 million, were inaugurated at AI Steenkamp Primary School. Situated in Katutura East, the school accommodates over 1 500 learners from pre-primary level to Grade 7, with 45 teachers. Classroom shortages has forced pre-primary learners to be temporarily accommodated 30 minutes away from the main school campus. The Japanese government, through its Grant Assistance for Human Security Projects, has made it possible for the 150 pre-primary learners to have access to a classroom upon resuming face-to-face learning, together with all other learners on the main campus. Hideaki Harada, Japanese Ambassador to Namibia said, "I wish to emphasise that we are committed to continue supporting the Government of Namibia especially in the education and health sectors, through various schemes of cooperation. To this effect the government of Japan has decided to support Namibian endeavours to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic through the provision of equipment and technical support." Rachel Jacobs, Chairperson of the Khomas Regional Council said, "dear learners, it is not only the responsibility of the teachers to ensure that these buildings are well cared for. But your responsibility as well. This way we can be guaranteed for many years of quality learning and high passing rates among our learners." A private company constructed the classrooms on behalf of the Japanese government while trainees at the Windhoek Vocational Training Centre worked on behalf of the Namibian government.
