Teachers at Minna Sachs Primary School say they feel threatened by the parents who are picketing in front of the school. 

The parents are demanding that the position of principal be re-advertised and that a person fluent in Khoekhoegowab be considered for the position since learners attending the school are from a predominantly Khoekhoegowab-speaking community.

The Kalahari Circuit Inspector, Ryan Assegaai, advised the teachers to report threatening behaviour against them to the police. 

Assegaai requested that teachers remain calm and continue with teaching.

Parents of learners at Keetmanshoop-based Minna Sachs Primary School disrupted classes for nearly two hours on Monday.

They protested at the school gate and blocked the newly appointed principal from entering the school premises. 

The latest development follows a protest by the parents last week, demanding the reversal of the appointment of the principal. 

The Head of Academic Affairs at the University of Namibia's Southern Campus has called on prospective students to apply for the Early Childhood and Junior Primary courses.

Rauna Namukwambi says that there are still spaces available for students who major in Khoekhoegowab, Afrikaans, and Otjiherero languages.

Namukwambi was speaking during an exclusive interview with nbc News at Keetmanshoop.

The Education Inspector in the Omaheke Region, Eliakim Kavari, says the region's poor examination results and poor performance in national rankings are serious concerns.

The new curriculum also came with its own challenges, particularly in terms of the amount of work given to learners versus the time frame and career guidance, among others.

Kavari shared this during a stakeholder engagement with the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, Science, Information Communication Technology, and Youth Development at Gobabis.
