Namibia: Unemployed Teachers Picket At Kavango East Regional Office

22 February 2018

Rundu — Some 100 teachers who are eligible to graduate this year picketed in front of the regional office of education in Rundu demanding an audience with the director of education Fanuel Kapapero to hand him their petition. They demanded that the education ministry reconsider the decision of the In-Service Training (INSET) programme that has enrolled close to 1,000 practising junior primary teachers, with the same number again to be enrolled each year over the next three years.

"The INSET programme should be placed on halt as the country is producing more qualified teachers each year and those that are already in the programme should go for full-time studies," said the petition which was read by Kazungo Nikodemus on behalf of the group.
