Some schools that were affected by last year's rainfall are yet to be fixed.

At Iimbili Combined School in the Ohangwena Region, some learners are attending classes in a tent as a result.

The roof of the school's block of three classrooms was blown off by last year's November rainfall, and renovations have not started.

As a result, some learners are now being temporarily taught in a tent donated by a villager.

Iimbili Combined School Acting Principal, Hilka Huxwa, says teaching and learning will be constantly disrupted due to the current rains, which force them to suspend classes.

"It's very difficult for us to cope because, now that it's raining, the pre-primary and grade one classes don't have roofs, and the children are just standing outside. We cannot teach them under the tree because it is the rainy season, so the grade nines are now being taught in a tent. We are appealing to good Samaritans to help us with tents or zinc so that we can construct some temporary shelters for these kids."

Efforts to obtain comments from Otunganga Circuit Inspector Chrispin Masule on what's being done to ease the school's situation proved futile as his phone went unanswered.

The school has a host of other challenges, such as insufficient chairs and tables, and the school management has now created benches and tables for the students as a remedy.

However, the teachers' accommodations do not have running water or a sewer system. 

A learner in grade eight demanded that the situation be resolved as soon as possible.

"We are asking the government and good Samaritans to help us with a zincs and some renovation."
