The National African Students Association wants a review of the education funding model to ensure that it responds to student's needs.

The student association held its first national congress at Rundu and elected its executive committee.

Discussions at the congress centered mainly on government study loans through the Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund.

The Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF), has come under fire in the National Assembly, with some Members of Parliament calling for its closure and revamping.

MPs were particularly disturbed by the findings of the Auditor-General, who stated in his latest report that the government had not budgeted for NSFAF's new headquarters.

The debate, which has gone into the NSFAF's operations and its mandate, was first tabled by the Swapo MP, Modestus Amutse.
