China-aided Namibian school set to open

Xinhua, January 5, 2016 Adjust font size:

Construction of China-aided school, Otjomuise Secondary School in Namibian capital Windhoek, is near completion and will open for its first academic year later this month.

"The key to the school will be officially handed over to the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture on Jan. 16 2016," Li Hui, project manager of PAN-China, the company which contracted to construct the school, said Tuesday.

According to Li, the school, whose construction commenced in August 2014, is designed and modelled on the latest state-of-the-art design and technology.

He said the school has 23 standard classrooms and will accommodate 800 learners. The school is also equipped with laboratories, supervisory teachers' housing, hostel facilities, specialized classrooms as well as sport facilitates.

The development of the school culminates from a bilateral agreement signed between Chinese and Namibian governments. Namibia received a grant of 120 million Namibian dollars or 12 million U.S. dollars from China for the construction and development of the school. Endit
