In a jubilant celebration of 75 years of commitment to empowering learners and shaping future leaders, Dr. Lemmer High School marked this milestone with the Nedbank Relay Championship competition.

The event was filled with various activities, including the 100, 200, and 400-metre runs. 

Teachers and learners from schools as far as the Namakwa Region in South Africa joined the celebration, highlighting the school's impact beyond its immediate community.

Teachers at rural schools should overcome many challenges to produce great results in terms of learner performance.

This was emphasised during the Kandjimi Circuit and Kavango West teachers conference held at Nkurenkuru.

Lack of proper classroom infrastructure and teaching materials and long-distance walks to school are some of the major challenges pointed out over the years affecting teaching and learning at rural schools.

The principal of Sikumba Junior Primary School, Markes Kasanga, says it requires hard work and perseverance to succeed.
