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.

A new school, still to be christened and without an electricity connection or office block and further lacking teachers, opened its doors to close to four hundred learners between grades seven and nine.

The school opened prematurely on Monday due to the high demand for placement in Walvis Bay's Narraville neighbourhood.

Excitement filled the air as learners and proud parents moved to the area designated as the day's assembly point, smiling brightly from ear to ear.
