Construction of classrooms was delayed after initially being set to commence in December last year.

The school, situated at Rundu's Tumweneni Informal Settlement, was started by community members five years ago.

Acting Head of Department Marcellus Haivera says more than 1,000 learners have been enrolled.

Haivera says there are many learners still looking for school placement.

This has seen farmers queuing up as early as four o'clock in the morning in search of lucerne for their livestock.

There are also four hectares of vegetables under irrigation.
