Protecting the rights
of students, trainees and learners, since 1984.

Education is a human right, not a privilege.

We believe that the Constitution of the Republic of Namibia guarantees the right to education without any discrimination, and that the state has the obligation to protect, respect and fulfill it.

NANSO honors the legacy of Tatekulu Nujoma—who understood that true freedom meant breaking not just political chains, but the barriers to knowledge.

He didn’t just lead from the front—he walked alongside students, understanding that the energy and determination of youth was essential to building a free Namibia. His vision lives on in every school, tertiary institution, and VTC. His boldness and dedication inspires us to be fearless in our own pursuit of advocacy.

Although the very first architect of Education in Namibia has left the classroom, his lessons will forever guide our journey.

The Namibia National Students Organisation, with profound grief, joins the rest of the Namibian house in mourning the passing of our Founding Father and First President, H.E. Dr. Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma. His unwavering dedication to liberation, education, and social progress laid the very foundation of our nation.

To the bereaved Nujoma family and the entire Namibian nation—we stand with you in this moment of national sorrow. Our hearts are heavy, yet filled with gratitude for the legacy of leadership, resilience, and unity he leaves behind.

May his revolutionary spirit continue to guide and inspire generations to come.
