Namibia National Students Organisation


The Namibia National Students Organisation is a national student organisation in Namibia. It was founded in July 1984 as a non-racial, democratic and independent student organisation. Since its formation, the organisation has been organising from the basic understanding that there is a need for students, together with other strata of our society, to make education respond to the needs of the country and its people. In as such the formation of NANSO was a necessary development in the struggle of the Namibian people against colonialism and foreign domination. Over the years NANSO has succeeded in organising, mobilising and uniting Namibian students so as to develop an awareness of national identity and unity of purpose.

Student Representation

NANSO has been representing Namibian students nationally since its inception in 1984. In 2016, the student organisation organised mass movements of Namibian students to demand free registration fees at the country's two major universities.
