Focus On Engineers

ALLOW me space in your respected newspaper.I would like to express my dissatisfaction with companies offering bursaries here in Namibia.

There are many different courses offered here in Namibia but some of them are not as widely recognised as others. Most companies seem to only offer bursaries to students wishing to study engineering.Why don’t these companies offer bursaries in areas like medicine, as they know that there are only a few people in Namibia trained as doctors and pharmacists.Most of us wish to further our studies in other courses apart from engineering, which is offered more than enough bursaries.I urge the companies responsible for distributing bursaries and study loans to consider other courses.Kasupy MweshipandekaMost companies seem to only offer bursaries to students wishing to study engineering.Why don’t these companies offer bursaries in areas like medicine, as they know that there are only a few people in Namibia trained as doctors and pharmacists.Most of us wish to further our studies in other courses apart from engineering, which is offered more than enough bursaries.I urge the companies responsible for distributing bursaries and study loans to consider other courses.Kasupy Mweshipandeka
