The Hendrik Tseib Primary School officially opened its doors to approximately 200 learners on Monday.

Initially scheduled for the 12th of January, the Inspector of the Kalahari Circuit, Ryan Assegaai, stated that safety concerns led to a short delay.

The NBC News crew spoke to the inspector regarding the school's readiness.

"We have one pre-primary for Afrikaans and one for Khoekhoegowab, and one Grade 1 Afrikaans and one Grade 1 Khoekhoegowab, because we only have six classes. There was a bigger need for Afrikaans; we enrolled learners in the Afrikaans class, but once the other classes are done within February, we will also introduce the other Khoekhoegowab classes for grades 2 and 3. We have an acting principal, Ms. Rooi, from Kronlein Primary School; she's head of department. We have four teachers appointed; the last teacher for Grade 2 will start on Wednesday."

Despite opening later than other schools, Assegaai explained that the school is operational with only six classrooms.

He also expressed gratitude to the government for educating the Namibian child and encouraged community members to visit education officers without hesitation if their children need school placement.
