About 650 students of the Dr. Lemner High School in Windhoek boycotted classes over a two day period in June, in protest at poor hostel facilities, unfairness in granting bursaries, the lack of a biology teacher and the fact that Namibian students had to attend South African universities. The boycott ended after an urgent meeting of parents and the drawing up by the Students Action Committee of a constitution for a students council.
