Next year, Namibia will start paying full costs for students at government colleges. President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah told lawmakers about this plan during her national speech on Thursday. She became the first woman leader of Namibia last month after taking the oath of office. She shared that her administration wants to make higher learning available for everyone through complete funding.

The country already offers free classes for children from elementary through high school age. However, parents must still buy uniforms, papers, and textbooks when their kids attend these schools. Many families also need money for dorm fees if students live away from home. The new program expands free schooling to help older students continue learning.

Nandi-Ndaitwah spoke to Parliament members about how the government would cover all university expenses beginning with the 2026 classes. Her announcement comes as part of broader plans for national improvement. The president hopes removing cost barriers will let more young citizens earn degrees. Public technical institutes will also participate in this program alongside traditional universities.
