NMH sponsors students
Namibia Media Holdings (NMH) in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture yesterday awarded bursaries to ten recipients.
NMH public relations executive Maggy Mbako said the company has a moral obligation towards the youth as part of its social responsibility.
“By investing in the youth, you will grow into responsible Namibians,” said Mbako.
NMH general manager for operations Derick Briers announced that through the partnership between NMH and the ministry of education, which included the dissemination of the 2016 Grade 10 and Grade 12 examination results, about 350 000 readers were reached.
Briers further said that 80 000 copies of the results were printed.
He also said that the Junior Secondary Certificate (JSC) Grade 10 examination results were the biggest supplement with 120 pages printed.
Briers said that the JSC results had more than 7 000 digital views online. Director of examinations Cavin Nyambe said through the bursary programme, the ministry of education and NMH were rewarding the students for their hard work. “That stipend is a token of recognition for what you do,” said Nyambe.
Franklin Platt, one of the bursary recipients, said that he was grateful for the reward and the financial relief it has brought for his parents.
“I feel quite relieved because my parents were paying for my tuition fees and I will lift that financial pressure from my parents when I receive this bursary,” said Platt.
Christofina Hofnie, another recipient, was also excited.
“I feel blessed, I feel like I deserved this and it came at the right time,” said Hofnie. Hofnie advised all Grade 12 learners who will be writing their examinations in 2017 to study hard. “Study hard and you should sacrifice a lot and always make time to study with friends,” she said.
The students receive dN$5 000 each.
