Youth in the two Kavango regions attended a one-day workshop on transforming education in Namibia at Rundu.
The aim was to form a youth-led movement to transform education.
The workshop was born after the New York Summit last year, where young people put together their demands and what they want their governments and UN member states to do to address the global learning crisis.
The summit was convened in response to the global learning crisis to ensure that learning is equitable, accessible, and quality for each child globally.
