The Rogate Primary School in Otjiwarongo held a pre-Independence celebration under the school's own theme, 'Independently United'.

Before independence, Rogate Primary School was only for the Damara-speaking learners, as other tribes attended school elsewhere.

The school only opened its doors to all tribes after independence.

Although Independence Day is mainly celebrated with songs and dance, the former principal of the school, Emmanuel Negumbo, reminded the learners that independence did not come on a silver platter but through armed struggle.

The Rogate Primary School in the Otjozondjupa Region has been rated as the worst-performing school in the region.

In order to motivate learners, Cenored sponsored the best-performing ones to encourage others to do better.

The majority of learners at Rogate Primary School are from underprivileged backgrounds.

Over the years, the school was rated as the worst performer, but there have been slight improvements since 2019, as 49 teachers try their best to support the learners.
