Namibia will offer free university education starting in 2026
-----
WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) — New Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah announced Thursday that her government will introduce free higher education at state universities and technical colleges starting next year.

Nandi-Ndaitwah, who was sworn in as Namibia’s first female leader last month, made the announcement while delivering her State of the Nation speech to Parliament.

“I am pleased to announce that from the next academic year, commencing 2026, tertiary education will become 100% subsidized by the government,” she said.

Namibia already provides free education in public elementary and high schools, though parents still typically have to pay for school uniforms, stationery, books and hostel fees.

The new policy would remove tuition and registration fees at universities and colleges. There have been calls for years for all levels of education to be subsidized by the government in the country of around 3 million people in southern Africa.

"Mar 27, 2025
Namibia has announced a major visa policy change, ending its long-standing visa-free entry for U.S. travellers. Starting April 1, American visitors must apply for a visa online in advance, though visas on arrival will still be available at key entry points. The move, which was approved last May, is backed by Namibia’s first female president, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. It responds to the U.S. and other Western nations denying visa-free entry to Namibians. It also highlights growing African frustration over strict U.S. visa policies. While some applaud this stand for reciprocity, others worry it may impact tourism. Despite concerns, officials remain confident in Namibia’s appeal, framing the decision as a bold statement on fairness, diplomacy, and Africa’s role in global travel. Watch to know more."

This is not [just] about sticking it up to #Trump. Or passports. Although it's very well that this is done by a strong African woman [ #TheDrumph can't both not stand as he can't understand it 🤣 🤣 😜]
It's far more about reclaiming 'face'. This is about colonial privileges thrown back. This is about #AfricanDignity. It is about the habit of walking around as king in another mans land.
As well as it is about exploiting the AfricanResources and claiming that back.

"In her first address, Nandi-Ndaitwah vowed to focus on reducing youth unemployment and making major investments in green energy, agriculture and infrastructure.

"We will increase investment in the development of infrastructure to open investment opportunities, enhance economic productivity, promote economic growth and improve the quality of life of our people,"
