Otjozondjupa Governor James Uerikua has called on the Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF) to review its online application system for loans, saying it does not cater to all learners.

Uerikua was speaking at the Ritja Career Fair at Otjiwanda Secondary School in Grootfontein.

Although learners were keen on learning more about different career paths, only two institutions showed up to support the fair.

NSFAF, which prides itself on funding students studying at institutions of higher learning, encouraged learners to apply for loans from the fund.

Prime Minister, Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, has encouraged learners not to look down on vocational training education, saying the unemployment rate among people who graduate from vocational centres is low.

Kuugongelwa-Amadhila was speaking at the opening of Ritja Career fair at Omaruru.

Themed "Education in Science and Technology Advance Real World and the Promotion of Vocational Training Centres to Fill the Gap in a Namibian Labour Market", the career fair provides guidance to learners as they prepare for tertiary education.

Prime Minister Sara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila has called on Namibians to embrace the Ritja Career Fair in the Omaheke Region.

Kuugongelwa Amadhila urged all stakeholders, including parents, learners, and teachers, as well as corporate entities and individuals, to support the government in addressing challenges that affect education.
