The need for infrastructure and equipment for educational purposes remains pressing in the |Khomas Region due to the constant population increase.

For this reason, the |Khomas Regional Council, together with the Ministry of Education, have constructed five additional classrooms at two schools.

The Council and the Education Ministry handed over a three-classroom block at the Olof Primary School in the Goreangab Informal Settlement.

The Greenwell Matongo Community Library also received 14 computers. 

Students and learners within the library's reach now have access to the internet for research and study purposes.

Penombili-Diana Iimvula, a librarian at Greenwell Matongo Community Library, says, "This computer will have a big impact on our community and especially on our patrons that are coming to Greenwell Matongo Community Library because we were not having computers, they were not functioning. The new one that we have received they will use in their assignment, in their research, and whatever information they are looking for."

Library User Daniel Mpande says, "It's going to make it easier for us to search for school stuff. Because we are having difficulty coming into the library, there are no computers. It was difficult for us."

Another beneficiary of two classrooms is Mount View High School.

The Chairperson of the |Khomas Regional Council, John Moonde, says the additional classrooms will make it more convenient for learners to move to and from another school within their surrounding residential areas.

"These classrooms that we have just completed are a testimony from our side that we are committed to making sure that education facilities are put at a level that our learners deserve to be taught in and also create a conducive environment for our teachers to also give their services of teaching learners in a convenient environment and structure."

The principal of Mount View High School, Sean Moller, says, "We want to thank all stakeholders involved. The |Khomas Regional Council, the Ministry of Education, and the whole community are assisting to get these things done."

While expressing gratitude for the gesture, Moller raised concern about the need to fence off the school to create a safer environment for both learners and teachers. 

"As you can see, we have classes until 3/3:30. The learners stay behind because at home it is too conducive to studying. Now that the place is not fenced, there are some unsavoury characters coming through here all the time, even on Saturdays. Sommer, so the teachers have to pack up because they do not feel safe. And that is a big concern for us."
