Kunene Governor Vipuakuje Muharukua says high poverty levels, long walking distances, teaching staff shortages, and poor infrastructure are some of the key reasons for the region's continued poor performance in the Senior Secondary Certificate, Ordinary Level, and Advanced Subsidiary Level examinations.

The Director of Education in the Kavango East Region, Christine Shilima, says the region's performance in the 2024 national examinations is worrisome. 

Kavango East will now be revisiting strategies aimed at restoring what was once considered one of the top-performing regions in the country.
