The Bunya Combined School in the Kapako Constituency has always struggled with basic necessities.

That was until the Rossing Foundation paid the school a visit to donate some much-needed items. 

The Bunya Combined School started off as a Catholic mission school 94 years ago.

Even back then, the school always had shortages in terms of teaching materials. 

Its principal, Kotokeni Willem, says that despite the many challenges, learning still takes first priority. 

The Rossing Foundation donated more than 200 library books to Tutaleni High School in Walvis Bay.

Acting Chief Education Officer at Rossing Foundation, Florian Engombe, said the books will be distributed to identified schools across the country, with attention given to schools in remote areas in disadvantaged communities.

The Managing Director of High Economic Intelligence in Namibia believes vocational training could be part of the solution to improving the quality of education in the country.

Salomo Hei addressed a Nedbank economic breakfast panel discussion held at Swakopmund on Wednesday.

Hei says Namibia has worked hard to improve access to basic education, but there is still significant work to be done.

He says it is imperative that the government ensure that education is adequately resourced.
