Strengthening Foundations Key to Educational Success in Kunene

A solid educational foundation is crucial for student success, according to Sophia Fredericks, Director of Education in the Kunene Region. She emphasized that poor performance in grades 11 and 12 is largely due to weak early education foundations. The region is now focusing on improving education from pre-primary to grade 7, with efforts including teacher training and new resources. Despite challenges, there has been a slight improvement in regional rankings and higher qualification rates from 2022 to 2023.
