Uranium explorer, Deep Yellow Limited, along with its subsidiary Reptile Mineral Resources and Exploration (RMR), recently donated textbooks worth more than N$65,000 to Duinesig High School in Walvis Bay.
According to RMR spokesperson, Sugnet Smit the donation enables the school to provide every learner with the resources he or she needs for academic success.
“RMR remains dedicated to enhance educational opportunities and continues to seek new ways to make a positive impact on the community.”
“This donation is just one of many initiatives reflecting RMR’s commitment to uplifting future generations,” said Smit.
RMR’s exploration manager, Katrin Kärner emphasized the importance of collaboration with the Directorate of Education, Arts, and Culture to address educational needs.
“May these textbooks serve as valuable resources, sparking curiosity and a passion for learning among learners.”
“Together, we are investing in the future generation’s education and empowering them to reach their full potential,” said Kärner.
In 2023, Duinesig High School introduced Computer Science as a new subject. Since then, learners lacked textbooks which prompted the Principal, Stanley Uri-Khob to approach RMR for support.
The company intervened and supplied 90 textbooks for grades 8 to 11 plus comprehensive teaching guides for educators to use in their computer centre.
Uri-Khob expressed his gratitude to RMR for the support, noting the positive impact these resources will have on learners’ learning experience.
According to him, partnering with RMR exemplifies the school’s dedication to maintain its high standards and fostering academic growth.
“We sincerely appreciate RMR’s generous donation and support. These textbooks will significantly enhance the learning experience for all learners, contributing to a brighter educational journey,” said Uri-Khob.
Duinesig High School is the top-performing Grade 12 school in the Erongo Region and sixth-best nationwide.
