Nanso takes lead in Commonwealth Students Association

The Namibian National Students Organisation (Nanso) has secured the position of congress chairperson within the Commonwealth Students Association (CSA), marking a significant milestone for Namibian students on the international stage.Founded in 1984, Nanso has been pivotal in advocating for the rights and interests of all learners and trainees in Namibia, regardless of nationality. Recognised by the Namibian government, its core mandate includes ensuring quality and accessible education for all Namibian children and those pursuing education in Namibia.Nanso president Lucia Ndishishi explained: “The core mandate is to advocate for the rights and interests of students as well as quality, accessible education for the namibian child and those pursuing education in Namibia.”The CSA comprises student organisations from across Commonwealth countries, spanning regions from southern Africa to Europe, America, Asia, and beyond. The CSA serves as a unifying platform for these organisations, championing common goals and mandates.Big win The newly established position of congress chairperson within CSA, outlined in its constitution but never before implemented, now sees Nanso's incumbent president, Ndishishi, assume leadership.“It's a big platform because there are so many voices in the commonwealth that are unified and all have a common purpose and mandate. Namibia, through Nanso, is chairing; that is the highest decision-making body of the CSA, so it's something we are sharing joy in not only for Namibia but for SADC at large.”"It's a big win for us," Ndishishi said."It's also another recommitment of the organisation to continue advocating for students, not only for Namibia but also on an international level.”As Nanso assumes its new role, the organisation looks forward to leveraging this platform to address pressing issues affecting students globally and advancing educational opportunities for all.
