Namibia
Union praises education budget
The Khomas Regional Executive Committee of the Namibia Teachers' Union (Nantu) yesterday praised the Government for again allocating the biggest part of the national budget to the country's education sector.
This was part of a number of education issues raised by the regional executive committee's vice-chairperson, Paul Sauerwein, at a press conference.
"We applaud the Government for its continued commitment to invest in education. It is however important that the various role players ensure that the N$4,8 billion be properly utilized in the provision of quality education," Sauerwein said.
In his view education is an expensive commodity like peace in every country.
"The future of a country depends on a good education system. We acknowledge we are not there yet, but are on our way. In this the private sector needs to take hands with the Government who need to spend funds wisely," he warned.
