Many schools continue to experience a shortage of desks and chairs as many are broken with the wooden covers ripped off. NBC News team came across a pile of broken desks and chairs in the schoolyard of Haudano Senior Secondary School in the Omusati Region. Haudano SSS principal, Shau Kristof told NBC News that the school is in dire need of furniture, especially desks. While waiting for assistance from the private sector the school will start fixing and repairing the broken desks and chairs by next month. In 2018 Kunene Governor Marius Sheya spearheaded an initiative to repair and fix about 3 000 chairs and desks, an initiative that alleviated a lack of furniture for 38 schools in the region.
