The Bethold Himumiune Primary School ( English Bethold Himumiune Primary School ) is a primary school in the Windhoek suburb of Katutura in Namibia . Since October 2, 2006, individual rooms in the school building have been a national monument .
It was the first school building in the suburb, which was inhabited exclusively by blacks during apartheid . From January 19, 1960, children from the old location were taught here, and they were forced to move here. From 1962 the children were distributed to ethnic schools. The Bethold Himumiune Elementary School was then called Herero State School No. 1 and received its current name ten years later, after the first principal of St Barnabas Primary School in the Old Location.
