N$17m to renovate school

Enzo Amuele OkakararaThe ministry of education, arts and culture officially received renovated school infrastructure at Okakarara Secondary School on 5 November from the principal-agent, who was responsible for supervising the project. The renovations began in 2020 and include seven classrooms, one administration block and one multi-purpose hall, at the cost of over N$17 million.The facilities are part of the ministry’s implementation of a five-year Agency of Education and Training Quality Improvement Project, which started in March 2018.According to the director of planning in the ministry, Carvin Muchila, the government received a loan of N$1 billion to develop infrastructure in the country. “Fortunately, the education sector was identified to benefit from the loan, and this also includes road infrastructure, and agriculture projects,” he said.Muchila called on other stakeholders to put their hands together in upgrading the infrastructure of Namibian schools for the future generation. “With these new facilities, learners can now study and receive education in safe and comfortable facilities,” he said.The CEO of the Okakarara municipality, Ernst Katjitundu, said the journey to renovate the facilities was not easy.“We had a series of meetings and it was always hectic; some of us have been accused of not utilising the funds appropriately. Today I am happy to witness that the facilities are officially done,” he said.Katjitundu urged the learners, teachers and school management to take care of the newly renovated structures and avoid vandalising the properties.Principal Rodger Katjivikua said the school has been in existence for 47 years and the infrastructure was worn down. “On behalf of the whole Okakarara community, we are thankful to have benefitted from the project, as this is the only secondary school in Okakarara and it accommodates a large number of learners,” he said.Katjivikua added that the infrastructure will be properly taken care of to ensure durability for future generations.
