Shimutwikeni said the meeting is important as the NSSU will also hire an expert from the Handball Federation (a newly introduced sport code in the region) as well as experts in other school sporting codes.
“There are a few teachers that were trained last year for the handball sports code, and it will be a bonus to have them together with the experts. The meeting will also discuss the NSSU finances and sport constraints and map out a positive way forward to ensure sporting activities are carried out as per regional calendar,” stated the Omusati NSSU leader.
Sport officers from the regional directorate of sport as well as officials from the directorate of education and the regional council will attend.

This will follow the preparations and competitions already started at schools (colour competitions), cluster, circuit and zonal levels throughout the region.
Shimutwikeni said the Omusati regional sport calendar has been drafted for all sport codes and has been circulated to schools.
