WINDHOEK, April 25 — Bank Windhoek and the Capricorn Foundation are teaming up to host a Grade 4 Mathematics Teachers Initiative in Windhoek from April 25 to April 26, 2023. With the support of the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture, the initiative aims to invest in the education of Namibian youth.
As part of Bank Windhoek’s 40th-anniversary celebration, the workshop will bring together 27 teachers from across the country to improve their skills in understanding the mathematics syllabus better. The teachers will receive a certificate upon completion of the training and can use these skills to enhance the academic results of learners enrolled in Grade 4.
The workshop will be facilitated by four Heads of the Departments of Mathematics and Science in their respective schools, Ismael Ntopoli, Dumi Litwayi, Ronnellie Guriras, and Sofia Haipinge. They will work together to find strategies to overcome challenging topics in the Namibian syllabus and share educational games to improve the results and make mathematics exciting.
Marlize Horn, the Executive Officer of the Capricorn Foundation, expressed her pride in partnering with Bank Windhoek on this initiative, saying that education is one of the key focus areas of the Capricorn Foundation. Bank Windhoek’s Head of Stakeholder Engagement, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Sponsorships, Bronwyn Moody, highlighted that the initiative is an example of a public-private partnership and a demonstration of the bank’s commitment to giving back to the communities in which it operates. – Namibia Daily News
