Namibia: Nanso Discourages Pupils From Renting On Their Own

20 January 2020

Rundu — President of the Namibia National Students Organisation (Nanso) Simon Taapopi has discouraged learners from renting on their own because of the revised education curriculum, which has seen a number of pupils placed at schools without hostels.

This includes learners being forced to seek accomodation closer to new non-boarding schools.

People end up taking advantage of these learners and this may lead to teenage pregnancy," said Taapopi during the launch of the basic education campaign in Rundu on Friday.
