The government wants to help schools by making new money rules. Teachers need good pay, but schools also need books and other things to help children learn. Right now, the government spends most of its school money on paying teachers, which means there isn't much left for important things like books and pencils.
Last year, the government spent N$13 billion to pay school staff. Many students have problems learning because their schools don't have enough books. Some students leave school early, and others fail their tests, especially in grade 10.
The new rules will help make things fair for all schools. The government wants to ensure that children in the countryside can learn just as well as children in cities. It also wants to help students with special needs by building better school buildings and giving them special learning tools.
Mr Mahongora Kavihuha, who speaks for teachers, thinks the government isn't looking at the real problems. He believes the schools have enough money but don't use it well. He says many students learn under trees, and this happens because people in charge don't plan well. He wants the government to think about what they teach children and make sure it helps the country grow.
The United Nations Children's Fund says the government needs to spend more money on school supplies. They want the government to spend money on things that will help children learn better.
