Nghipondoka says schools must demolish dilapidated buildings

The Minister of Education, Arts and Culture Anna Ngipondoka said schools should demolish dilapidated buildings at their schools before they cause harm to learners and staff. Nghipondoka said this after observing Ihongo Combined School in Onyaanya circuit in the Oshikoto Region, which was established in 1925 by Finnish missionaries. It has two building blocks with six classrooms that are dilapidated completely. Nghipondoka also raised concern about teachers and learners failing to adapt to the new curriculum adding that learners who rely on memorising word by word will not get anything from the new curriculum.
