Edda Bohn discusses closure of school in Luderitz

[PODCAST]

The Ministry of Education denies closing a school in Lüderitz, contradicting claims by Mayor Phillipus Balhao. The ministry states the issue concerns an unsuccessful registration application for a private pre-primary to Grade 3 school operating from a backyard flat, which officials deem unsuitable.

Today, we spoke with Edda Bohn, the ministry’s deputy executive director for formal education, to clarify the situation, explain how private education initiatives are assessed, and outline criteria for new schools, especially in rapidly growing towns like Lüderitz.
