426 students have graduated from UNAM's Rundu Campus in the fields of accounting and auditing, business administration, entrepreneurship and new venture management, education, heritage and conservation management, and nursing science.

Delivering the keynote address, UNAM Chancellor and former President Nangolo Mbumba said education is an enabler that leads to the liberation of bodies and minds. He encouraged the graduates to use their acquired knowledge and skills to inspire and serve others.

Guest speaker, Minister of Gender Equality and Child Welfare Dr. Emma Kantema-Gaomas, told the graduates that the government is supporting their transition into the workforce.

She spoke about the Ministry of Finance's directive to all offices, ministries and agencies to include apprenticeship and internship programmes in their budgets and urged the new graduates to make use of the available opportunities. 

Out of the 426 graduates, 64% are women.
