Namibia on Tuesday announced that it will suspend face-to-face teaching in all learning institutions from June 17-30 to contain further spread of Covid-19.
“For the rest of the country, the Minister of Education, Arts & Culture will announce a ‘Winter Holiday’, with exception for Grades 10, 11 and A-Levels who need to continue Face-to-Face learning in preparation for external examinations,” President Hage Geingob said in a statement during the 29th Covid-19 public briefing on the national response measures.
