“AS a proud Namibian, I am pleased to live in a country where education is a fundamental right that is entrenched in our Constitution…It is not surprising, and correctly so, that the bulk of our country’s educational spend is directed at primary and secondary education level…In order to develop a skilled nation, we need to also invest our energy and significantly increase our focus on tertiary education. The capacity of tertiary institutions should be enhanced and the barriers of entry to tertiary education should be removed. This responsibility lies with individual citizens, families, private sector, government as well as the tertiary institutions themselves. Such institutions have a vital role to play in turning Namibia into a nation of skilled champions.” (more)
