The Deputy Prime Minister, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, held a round-table meeting with education stakeholders at Katima Mulilo.

The roundtable was meant to discuss opportunities and possible solutions to the poor academic performance of last year's national examinations.

Nandi-Ndaitwah reminded the gathering of the importance of education as one of the enablers of development alongside agriculture, tourism, mining, and fishing.

She called upon all to be friends with education and find solutions to its challenges.
