Friday, February 17, 2006 - Web posted at 7:29:02 GMT At last. Hot meals again for school at Oshikuku * OSWALD SHIVUTE at OSHAKATIFOOD can once again be cooked at the Nuuyoma Senior Secondary School at Oshikuku in the Omusati Region after Government bought four new industrial cookers for the school. |

The school's kitchen and dining hall were destroyed by fire in 2004, and since then, food has had to be transported from Oshakati, 30 km away, three times a day. "This is really a relief to the Nuuyoma Senior Secondary School, because now the children can again get their food on time and the food is no longer cold when it is given to them, as the case was when the food was transported from Oshakati," said Elim Circuit Inspector Hans Nghixulifwa. Nghixulifwa said there is still no dining hall at the school. However, when Education Minister Nangolo Mbumba visited the school last week, he promised that the dining hall and kitchen would be rebuilt as soon as money became available. This might happen in the next financial year, which starts in April, he said. Nghixulifwa also announced that the Ashipala school at Elim in the Omusati Region would be upgraded from a junior secondary school to a senior secondary school, offering classes up to Grade 12 and hostel facilities. Provision for this would also be made in the next budget, he said. |
