Namibia: Economist Challenges Grade 12 Learners

18 September 2013

Windhoek — The Bank of Namibia (BON)'s economist, Petrus Shifotoka, is challenging all Grade 12 learners to think of ways in which they can help the country overcome some of the socio-economic challenges.

"There is no substitute to education. There are no short-cuts when it comes to success. You can't just drop out of school and expect to drop into a good job. It takes education to succeed in this interconnected and fast-changing global environment. Education is not only a key but also a pre-requisite to a successful life.
