MultiChoice invests in education

Minister of Education Arts and Culture Katrina Hanse-Himarwa, reflecting on the 2016 Grade 10 and 12 results, said the results are now history and appealed to learners to focus on their studies. She urged the learners to find a breakthrough in order to deliver measurable improvements in 2017. “I trust the MultiChoice Back-to-School campaign is setting the scene for us in education to interrogate the outcomes of the past results and set clear strategies and targets for 2017,” Hanse-Himarwa said. The minister also said the purpose of MultiChoice's investment is to cement the synergy call made by President Hage Geingob's Harambee Prosperity Plan which says nobody should feel left out. Speaking at the same event, MultiChoice Namibia chairperson Milka Mungunda said MultiChoice's purpose is to enrich lives by making great entertainment more accessible. “We recognise education as a key priority in Namibia and as such, it is also the main focus of our corporate social responsibility,” Mungunda said. MultiChoice Namibia's investment is primarily activated through the MultiChoice Resource Centre (MRC) which leverages the video production company's powerful digital satellite platform to make a difference in the lives of students and teachers across the continent. Mungunda further revealed that over 300 Namibian schools have benefited from this programme since its commencement in 2004. Last year, the company completed regional upgrades for MRC and each MRC is provided with a television, mounting bracket, personal video recorder (PVR) decoder and satellite dish. MultiChoice also gives these schools access to the DStv education bouquet which offers new teaching material and the resources that can be recorded on the PVR. Mungunda requested the staff of Jan Mohr Secondary School to embrace the technology and take ownership as well as take care of the equipment so that others can benefit from it in future.MICHAEL KAYUNDE
