Ohangwena learner enrolment rises as education sector expands

Pupil enrolment in the Ohangwena region has increased by 5 800, from 130 479 in 2025 to 136 279 in 2026, reflecting growing demand for education services.

Delivering her state-of-the-region address at Eenhana on Friday, governor Kadiva Hamutumua said the 4.45% increase in pupil enrolment has been matched by growth in the teaching workforce, which rose from 4 661 teachers in 2025 to 4 906 this year.

She said the government remains committed to providing quality education and training, with the aim of equipping pupils with skills that respond to the demands of the modern economy.
