All 47 schools in the Omaheke Region are part of the Health Promoting Initiative Programme, aimed at improving their health and strengthening the teaching environment for better performance.

The initiative is a collaboration between the Ministries of Education and Health and the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Omaheke Governor Pijoo Nganate emphasised that quality education should be accompanied by good health. Hence, the initiative should be coordinated in a manner that will address health challenges in schools.
