Otjozondjupa Acting Education Director Uerivangera Tjivikua says they will exhaust all possible avenues to ensure that all children secure space in schools.

Rural urban migration takes place at a fast pace in the Otjozondjupa Region, especially in Okahandja, Otjiwarongo, and Grootfontein.

The Kavango East Education Directorate has awarded tenders worth more than N$18 million for the construction of classrooms.

Of late the Rundu Circuit has been experiencing a shortage of classrooms leading to overcrowding with some learners being taught in tents. 

About 29 schools that were closed due to flooding have been re-opened in Ohangwena Region. 

This followed the subsiding of flood waters.
The floods affected 36 schools in the region, disturbing learning for more than 17 000 learners.

The mushrooming of unregistered primary schools at Rundu has become worrisome for the Kavango East Directorate of Education, Arts and Culture.

At least three schools with a combined total of more than five-hundred learners are said to be operating illegally and without the approval of the Ministry.

Senior political leaders and staff of the education directorate undertook a visit to the Okondjatu Combined School in Okakarara Constituency. 

This follows the circulation of images and videos depicting the deplorable condition at the school.
