AKAD University Visits DHPS Windhoek: Prospects for Future Collaboration
On 8 September 2026, Deutsche Höhere
Privatschule Windhoek (DHPS) welcomed Prof. Dr habil. Markus Grottke, the
Rector’s Representative for Cross-Departmental Special Matters at
AKAD-University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart.
During an open and constructive discussion between AKAD and Jörg Przybilla (DHPS Principal), Alexander Ritzer (Coordinator of DHPS Academic and Career Guidance) and Deborah Haindongo (DHPS Head of Administration), numerous opportunities for future collaboration were explored.
The exchange focused on new opportunities for DHPS graduates in a world increasingly shaped by digitalisation and artificial intelligence. The talks covered topics such as potential collaborations in the area of career and study guidance, the further development of the DHPS’s existing guest learner programme, as well as the advantages of AKAD degree programmes, which are fully digitalised and can be completed asynchronously, making them compatible with learners remaining predominantly in Namibia.
Both sides emphasised the importance of international educational networks in preparing young people as effectively as possible for the demands of a changing society and working world.
The exchange was characterised by openness, constructive dialogue and strong mutual interest in exploring future opportunities.
Prof. Dr Grottke’s visit once again underlines DHPS’s commitment to opening up international educational and future prospects for its learners and to fostering strategic partnerships with prominent educational institutions.
