THE ‘GENERATION of Africa Intellectual Trust’ youth organisation plans to hold a panel discussion on barriers to quality education in the Kavango East region next month.
The panel discussion, billed for 12 October, will take place in the Kavango Regional Council’s auditorium, and will form part of a series of educational discussions the organisation envisions for the region.
The co-founder and managing trustee of the organisation, Maxwell Nghidinwa, told Nampa on Monday that the aim is to bring together intellectuals to find innovative solutions to problems in the region’s education sector, and to promote an active pro-education society in Kavango East.
He said the dialogue would serve as a platform to engage the public through the relevant stakeholders such as learners, teachers and parents.
Nghidinwa added that they hope to implement programmes which will empower stakeholders to contribute to inclusive and equitable quality education in the region.
The panel discussion will be held under the theme ‘A dialogue on the progress and barriers of access to quality education in the Kavango East region after 27 years of independence.’
It will discuss skills development programmes for under-qualified teachers, parental involvement in learner education, after-school supplementary programmes, as well as the learners’ pregnancy policy.
The dialogue will be facilitated by Nampa journalist Sawi Hausiku, while the panellists will include several role-players in education in Kavango East. The keynote speaker will be the director of education in the region, Fanuel Kapapero.
The trust is a non-profit, non-political organisation which advocates social change in Africa. It was registered with the Master of the High Court in 2014. – Nampa
