PETITION TO THE ROADS AUTHORITY OF NAMIBIA

Proposal to Introduce Learner’s License Examinations at Universities

To:

The Chief Executive Officer

Roads Authority

We, the undersigned students and supporters, respectfully petition the Roads Authority of Namibia to consider implementing learner’s license written examinations at universities and higher education institutions across Namibia.

Background

Many university students face challenges accessing Roads Authority testing centers due to:

Distance from campuses

Transport costs

Long waiting periods

Conflicts between testing schedules and academic commitments

As students pursuing higher education and preparing for future employment opportunities, obtaining a driver’s license has become increasingly important for mobility, internships, and employment readiness.

Our Proposal

We propose that the Roads Authority:

Introduce scheduled learner’s license written examinations at universities.

Partner with institutions such as:

University of Namibia

Namibia University of Science and Technology

Other accredited colleges and vocational institutions.

Conduct mobile or temporary examination sessions on campus during selected periods each semester.

Allow online booking systems specifically for university students.

Benefits of the Proposal

This initiative would:

Improve access to licensing services for young people.

Reduce overcrowding at Roads Authority testing centers.

Lower transport expenses for students.

Encourage lawful and responsible driving among youth.

Support economic participation and employability for students.

Conclusion

We believe this proposal aligns with Namibia’s goals of youth empowerment, accessibility, and service delivery improvement. We respectfully request that the Roads Authority review and engage stakeholders on the possibility of piloting this initiative at selected universities.

We, the undersigned, support this petition.
