Mbumba praises Huawei’s IT donation to school

“This is the first step in the right direction to encourage technology know-how, innovation and creativity in our schools.”

This was said by president Nangolo Mbumba, thanking Huawei Technologies Namibia for its donation of information technology and media equipment worth N$900 000 to Oshigambo High School in Oshikoto region and Dr Alpho Mauno Mbamba School in the Kavango East region.

Speaking at the official handover ceremony in Windhoek yesterday, Mbumba described the donation as a vital step in enhancing technology education in the country.

“Namibia is an integral part of the global community and we now live in the age of rapid technological advancement, driven by creativity and imagination to create economic value.

“Huawei generously agreed to assist two schools where the need for technology teaching equipment is acute. I am happy that Oshigambo and Dr Mbamba high schools, well-deserving candidates, were identified as recipients,” he said.

Mbumba urged regional education directors, school board chairpersons and principals to ensure the donated equipment is well utilised and maintained under the guidance of the Ministry of Education Arts, and Culture.

Mbumba, who recently returned from visits to green scheme projects in the Kavango and Oshikoto regions, highlighted the critical role of education and technology in achieving Namibia’s broader developmental goals, including food self-sufficiency and economic transformation.

He urged all Namibians to fulfil their patriotic duty in next week’s presidential and National Assembly elections and to vote peacefully to strengthen the nation’s democracy.

“I believe all of us who are present here, those who are eligible to vote, have registered and will be going out on Wednesday in full force to do our patriotic duty as citizens,” he said.
