The Namibian Student Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF) and its funding policy are up for review.

The government has extended non-tuition support to qualifying and eligible students at small institutions of higher learning, such as VTC and registered colleges.

Students at these institutions will now receive N$10,000 annually.

Academic graduations are not an end in themselves, hence the need to continue with self-development to keep up with the demands of the job market.

This message was given to 360 students who graduated from the University of Namibia's (UNAM) Katima Mulilo campus on Thursday.

Namibia has emphasised the pivotal role of collaboration to enhance the impact of collective endeavours.

Lawyer Clive Kavendji of Kangueehi & Kavendjii Inc. has written to activist Dr. Job Amupanda, demanding that Amupanda cease and desist from posting "false and defamatory" allegations against the Minister of Higher Education, Training, and Innovation, Dr. Itah Kandjii-Murangi.

Over 90 Namibian students received scholarships to study various related courses in the green hydrogen industry, availed through grant funding from Germany.

Sixty awardees will undertake Master's Degree courses, while 30 will undertake their studies at the local Vocational Training Centres.

Namibia needs to produce skills that meet the demands of the job market.

The Minister of Higher Education, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Itah Kandjii-Murangi said this when she motivated the ministry's budget allocation of N$3.8 billion for 2023-2024 in the National Assembly.

The government has spent over N$ 7 billion in funding students' tuition at public and private institutions of higher learning in the past 5 years.
