As you all know, the NTN has a long history from before and upon independence of government support for the institution, which carries out a national mandate of presenting, promoting and developing performing arts in the country. |
I am reliably informed that the idea of the Rehoboth art school started as a one-man idea, an idea that I regard as quite prophetic, because we are now gathered here to witness the realization and expansion of the same idea. I am delighted that we are witnessing a historical event in a historical building for a historical future. |
I believe the institution is now better equipped to help educate school learners on arts related aspects of education; teach out of school youth arts as a vocational subject; serve as host for art exhibitions and assist local schools with art research and art competitions. |
