About 4 400 students
graduated from the University of Namibia (Unam) on
Wednesday and yesterday. One of the graduates, Tuarirovangu
Kasirua (23), who completed her bachelor’s
degree in law, says having represented a minority group
on the students’ representative council, she is proud
to have obtained her degree, since minorities are often
looked down upon. Kasirua says the inspiration behind
her graduation outfit was getting back to her roots.
Speaking at the event, minister of higher education,
technology and innovation Itah Kandjii-Murangi lauded
the granduates for their commitment. Among the group
were 12 master’s degree candidates from the Faculty
of Education and Human Sciences. Kandjii-Murangi
said the education system depends on knowledge,
skills and expertise in various disciplines. Photo: Contributed
