Today I had the honor to talk about ₿itcoin (again) in my high school. 2 hours of education for the kids and for me, a wonderful experience. Topics such as inflation, fiat currencies, pollution, consumption, supply and demand, cost, price, value and much more were touched upon. A very productive and educational day. It's always nice to go back to the classroom and share in a simple way something that has been with you for years and is a passion of yours, great!

Namibia will offer free university education starting in 2026
-----
WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) — New Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah announced Thursday that her government will introduce free higher education at state universities and technical colleges starting next year.

Nandi-Ndaitwah, who was sworn in as Namibia’s first female leader last month, made the announcement while delivering her State of the Nation speech to Parliament.

“I am pleased to announce that from the next academic year, commencing 2026, tertiary education will become 100% subsidized by the government,” she said.

Namibia already provides free education in public elementary and high schools, though parents still typically have to pay for school uniforms, stationery, books and hostel fees.

The new policy would remove tuition and registration fees at universities and colleges. There have been calls for years for all levels of education to be subsidized by the government in the country of around 3 million people in southern Africa.
