Nanso keeps close eye on registration
The Namibia National Students Organisation (Nanso) plans to be actively involved in the registration process at tertiary institutions as part of its ongoing Access to Education campaign.
“Our campaign started in the first week of January with placements of learners in schools and now we are organising ourselves for the placement of students at institutions of higher learning countrywide,” Nanso secretary-general Efraim Paulus said at an information session in Windhoek on Sunday.
The registration process starts this week at institutions like the Namibia University of Science and Technology (Nust) and University of Namibia (Unam).
Paulus said Nanso's presence would be noticeable at all campuses across the country.
“We will make sure that every student who qualifies for higher education gets [access to] it, by eliminating factors that prevent them from accessing education,” he said.
Paulus said the organisation would identify students who cannot go online to apply for loans from the Namibia Student Financial Assistance Fund.
“We will provide a laptop and data to make sure students are assisted. We also call upon parents who cannot afford registration [fees] to approach the organisation for help,” Paulus said.
They have also asked the police to certify documents on the various campuses during registration.
Additionally, the student organisation will identify students from abusive environments and see how they can assist them.
“Even student safety during registration is a major concern to the organisation and we have engaged the police on this matter, which will among others protect students against being robbed,” Paulus added.
