Schools

The contributions of all the experts of B360 education partnerships are much appreciated. They bring subject matter expertise and business experience which are highly valuable for our students. Our partnership with B360 education partnerships is young and developing and we want to further grow and strengthen our cooperation. We are hoping that in the future, in addition to many B360 education partnerships experts coming to Namibia, there will be many training opportunities in Switzerland for some of our best students.

B360 education partnerships and UNZA are in discussions about a possible partnership. To test how a possible cooperation could best work, two pilot assignments are planned.
