The partially built school has a block of three classrooms, an office and toilet facilities.

Speaking to Nampa yesterday, community leader Jonas Nghifikwa said parents were hoping for the school to open during the 2023 academic year, however they are continuing to suffer the same fate year after year.

“We are hoping for the school to be opened, many parents have children who are not attending school because they cannot afford the N.dollars 600 taxi fare per month or send their children to boarding schools,” he said.

Nghifikwa also asked the councillor to intervene with their challenges regarding the school, noting that the community is in dire need of a school in the area.

Windhoek Rural Councillor Piet Adam told this agency in January 2022 that the government’s plan to open the school in phases starting from Grade 1 to 2 during the 2022 academic year was hampered by a lack of water and electricity.

The Mix community outside Windhoek has an early childhood development (ECD) centre under the Ministry of Gender Equality, Poverty Eradication and Social Welfare, which opened in April 2022 with an intake of 74 children.
