KEETMANSHO­OP – ||Kharas Director of Education, Arts and Culture, |Awebahe ||Hoeseb has said education service delivery strongly requires unconditio­nal involvemen­t and participat­ion from all stakeholde­rs, including the public and private sectors. ||Hoeseb made the remarks while receiving attire for the ||Kharas Regional Science Team by Anglo-American Namibia Foundation here on Tuesday. The team, which consists of seven learners selected from the 2019 regional science fair that took place last week in Keetmansho­op, is set to participat­e at the 39th Eskom Expo for Young Scientists Internatio­nal Science Fair in South Africa next month. “If our aim is to provide equitable access to quality education, lifelong learning opportunit­ies and realise quality outcomes we need the participat­ion of parents, caregivers, communitie­s and individual­s as well as both the public and private sector,” said ||Hoeseb. He added that as Namibia is besieged by an economic downturn and financial challenges, coupled with a crippling drought, the directorat­e welcomes the support from the foundation. “The most significan­t output for your usual support is the fact that the foundation enables the regional team to compete outside the region at national as well as internatio­nal level in science fairs,” he remarked. Anglo-AmericanNa­mibiaFound­ation coordinato­r Richard Cook said the foundation will continue to give back to the community as part of its corporate social responsibi­lity. “We are proud to be part of this sponsorshi­p we will continue to support as we have done in the last three years. To the learners, go and make this region proud,” he said.
