The winners of the 2025 Language Competition
On March 29, 2025, the annual language competition took place at the Goethe-Institut Namibia. The competition is aimed at learners, who chose German as a foreign language. This year, 32 participants from grades 10 and 11 from public and PASCH schools came together to demonstrate their German language skills. Prizes such as tablets, laptops, and two trips to Germany, sponsored by the German-Namibian Society (DNG), were on offer.The learners participated in oral exams in pairs and groups of three. They were tested on their general conversational ability, vocabulary, grammatical accuracy, and pronunciation. Following the exams, all participants took part in a feedback session. Additionally, eight fun exercises were part of the competition to improve the participants’ German language skills and to promote intercultural exchange between Namibia and Germany. The activities on offer ranged from football to German fairy tales and robotics.
This year's lucky winners of the trip to Germany were Uvatera Uanguta (Grade 10, Concordia College Windhoek) and Angel Uiras (Grade 11, Namib High School Swakopmund). Additionally, Zayden Louw (Grade 10, Namib High School) and Aaliyah Bampton (Grade 11, Curro Windhoek Gymnasium) received laptops as second prizes from the Goethe-Institut Namibia. Tablets were awarded as third prizes to André Hurter (Grade 10, Curro Windhoek Gymnasium) and Aitashe Dzvatsva (Deutsche Höhere Privatschule Windhoek).

PASCH Seminar in Otjiwarongo
The PASCH seminar for Namibia in Otjiwarongo started with an interesting exchange where the 11 PASCH teachers discussed many topics around PASCH's involvement in Namibian schools. The discussion was also focused on the PASCH FIT exams.
From Saturday on the principals and HOD's of the Namibian Pasch schools joined to discuss challenges and opportunities for the future of our PASCH work in Namibia. Ideas were collected with a lot of enthusiasm and future projects were planned accordingly. The most important goal was to connect all responsible stakeholders and their Namibian Pasch schools more.
