Acting Education Director in Kavango East, Shilima, says all credit goes to those who were working closely with the learners.

"The teachers, I honestly do appreciate your work and that each and every learner received your attention. As the acting director, I am just an administrator. The actual people who deserve this profound credit are you, the teachers, and the entire school management. I therefore conclude by expressing my deepest and most profound appreciation, and may we continue improving the performance of the learners in this region for the year 2024."
