Radio could serve as a tool to create tension and animosity among citizens.
Therefore, there is a need for all radio personalities and the public to use the tool as a medium of communication wisely.
Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology Emma Theofelus made the call during the celebration of World Radio Day.
The Deputy Executive Director of the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture says the education system is in crisis.
Edda Bohn attributes the current state of affairs in education, including the poor performance of learners in the new curriculum, to the economic recession experienced prior to 2016.
Bohn says that the funding availed by the central government to effectively implement the new curriculum has not been sufficient.
The Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture Executive Director Sanet Steenkamp has described the 2022 school year calendar as fast-paced.
Steenkamp has highlighted the 14 regional consultations, which the ministry undertook to engage stakeholders on how to better the education sector and have great learner outcomes.
The 14 regional consultations resulted in the national education conference, which was hosted by the ministry in August this year.
The conference, Steenkamp says, was a guiding tool for the ministry's seven-year education plan.

The report, among others, recommends access to health services and job opportunities with favourable working conditions for people with albinism.

A one-day conference for stakeholders in the tourism sector in the Oshikoto Region is underway at Omuthiya.
The conference is organized by the Environment, Forestry and Tourism Ministry in collaboration with UNESCO and with support from GIZ.
The conference is aimed at creating awareness of the importance of sustainable and heritage tourism.
It was noted that as tourism continues to grow, it might have adverse effects on the environment, hence the need for stakeholders to meet to look at the factors that might affect the environment in a negative way.
