The Minister of Education, Arts, and Culture, Anna Nghipondoka, has implored education staff to efficiently utilise funds for quality education.

Nghipondoka was speaking at the finalisation and validation of annual work plans for the financial year 2024–25.

Reflecting on the previous year, Nghipondoka highlighted the importance of efficiency in implementing programmes despite an 85% performance improvement.

The minister says that when schools are allocated funds for UPEs, stationaries, and the execution of duties, they should be used efficiently. 

Artificial intelligence (AI) can infringe on human rights if not properly understood or utilised.

These were some of the sentiments shared by various speakers at the stakeholder engagement on the implementation of UNESCO recommendations on the ethics of AI.

The engagement follows the adoption of the Windhoek Outcome Statement on Artificial Intelligence in Southern Africa last year, aimed at strengthening multistakeholder cooperation and the ethical use of artificial intelligence.

Qualifications may serve as a display of the knowledge one possesses to perform in a given profession.
