President Hage Geingob has stated that his remark about the construction of makeshift structures at schools was not a directive, but rather an example he had previously shared with a specific school.

During the opening of the first Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Dr. Geingob expressed concern over learners being taught under trees.

Addressing a media conference, Dr. Geingob clarified this and other issues.

These remarks have drawn both praise and criticism, especially among stakeholders in education.

President Hage Geingob opened the first Cabinet meeting for the year, reminding the Executive not to put personal interests above service delivery and to refrain from working in isolation from public needs.
