Windhoek Region INTRODUCTION The Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) in Namibia is placing considerable emphasis on equipping its teaching corps to perform Attention has been their task with confidence and competence. focused on pre-service and in-service teacher education, on the qualifications necessary for teaching at the various levels, and Even prior to Independence, on equivalence of qualifications. in 1989, the present ruling party held an education conference in Lusaka with teacher education as its theme. of Education and Culture created On 8 March, 1991 the Minister This group set a Working Group on Teacher In-Service TrainingI. about developing a model for in-service training which would be appropriate for a country with the majority of its teaching corps An early draft of the model characterized as under-qualified. was presented in May to a seminar on pre-service and in-service training attended by representatives of the various departments of the six educational Regions and of NGOs of the Ministry, active in the field of education. During the above seminar a firm request was made for the Working Group to collect information on and from the teachers which would make possible a better match between the needs which teachers themselves perceived and the content and timing of the courses and workshops which would constitute three components of an overall in-service training programme. At the time of the seminar it was thought that much of this information could be derived from the Ministry's annual education census, but that the more subjective information would have to training the component of the first during be gathered as no alternative way of collecting and processing programmes, afterwards, shortly Very the information seemed feasible. Unesco and UNDP jointly responded to this request by however, undertaking to provide international experts and funding to make a sample survey possible. The international consultants arrived on 14 September, 1991. They were joined at the beginning of their mission by a National staff member from the Ministry of Consultant and a senior The mission completed its work during the Education and Culture. The research team comprised the first week in December. following individuals: 1. Education (Secondary C.

After field of teacher several meetings were consultations of an informative nature, held with members of the Working Group on Teacher In-service Training of the MEC to work out the approach to the research, define the timetable of activities and refine the data-gathering From mid-October to the instrument which had been prepared. beginning of November the field work took place, which consisted 418 teachers in 124 schools throughout the of interviewing country. Data capture and analysis and report writing took up the rest of the mission's time. in-service teacher The report itself comprises five chapters: of the survey, the training in Namibia, background and objectives research method, analysis of the survey results, conclusions and There are a bibliography, a statistical annex recommendations. and two appendices. While such a survey will not enable course planners to take into account the precise wishes of each of the participants, because assumptions will still have to be made, it is hoped that the generalizations from the data collected will nonetheless enable to move closer to the wishes expressed by course planners In this sense the survey is a systema.tic attempt to teachers. and closer to the objective of move away from assumptions ascertaining the in-service training needs of teachers. 3 IN-SERVICE CHAPTER ONE TEACHER TRAINING IN NAMIBIA No analysis of the needs of in-service training would be complete without a discussion of the context in which such training occurs. This chapter begins with a brief historical background of education in Namibia with special mention of key documents in this historical process. In the next section reference is made to the evidence for a mounting interest in the in-service training method in Namibia from the period just prior to Independence to the present. I. A brief historical backaround of education in Namibia The dawn of formal education in Namibia, as in most parts of is closely related to the introduction of the written Africa, word by missionaries as a by-product of their evangelical work. the major objective of the According to Dr. Moses T jitendero2 was to convert the indigenous population to missionaries Formal education remained subordinate to the Christianity. spiritual work. The German colonial administration (1884-1915), although opening did not try to change the an educational service for Whites, pattern of the existing mission education among the African The German settlement led to two separate systems population. one for Whites and one for Africans mainly focused of education, on conversion and then on preparing Africans for semi-skilled employment. then known as South West Africa, was placed In 1915, Namibia, In 1920, Namibia became a under South Africa's military rule. League of Nations Mandate under South Africa's administration with the understanding that South Africa was to educate, develop and care for the mental and physical well-being of Namibians, and According to Fraenke13, to prepare them for independence. Article 22 of the covenant of the League of Nations stated: 11. ..there shall be applied well-being and development sacred trust of civilisation for the performance of this in the covenant". 2 the principle that the of such peoples form a and that the securities trust should be embodied M.P.

Fraenkel, Report No. 19, 1974. of South West Africa. 4 With the introduction of the Bantu Education Act, No. 47 of 1953, each ethnic group in Namibia was considered a separate nation. The community schools under Bantu Education created strong racial, ethnic and tribal identities. The syllabi of different racial groups differed considerably; illiteracy among the Black people remained high. The Blacks were to be trained for unskilled manual labour and the Whites for high managerial posts. From the historical perspective of education in Namibia, it became clear that the education system was designed with a specific purpose for the various ethnic groups. Before independence, educationwas organized in Namibia according to the National Education Act, Act No. 30 of 1980 and These Acts provided for the Proclamation AG No. 8 of 1980. a National creation of a Department of National Education, Education Council and an Examination Board of South West Africa. Proclamation AG No. 8 of 1980 dealt with the distribution of government functions (including education functions) between the and the ethnic authorities of different central government authorities had Representative ethnic population groups. for Whites, systems, (i.e. education separate education Caprivians, Coloureds, Damaras, Owambos, Kavangos, Namas, The Examination Board prescribed Hereros, Tswanas and Basters). the minimum standards and requirements for syllabi and courses, Since the and the issuing of certificates. examinations, opted not to administration for Damaras, Owambos and Hereros assume responsibility for schools in the so-called White areas, the areas outside the homelands, this function fell on the Department of National Education. For schools under the control of the Department of National Education either the Secretary of National Education or the Minister issued regulations about the medium of instruction, religious education, school committees, courses and admission Extensive regulations were requirements in government schools. also issued on the composition and duties of school committees, of service and expulsion of control of school funds, conditions teachers. According to the Report of the Education Committee (1985),4 inequality prevailed in education in Namibia and was made evident by the following problems: 4 a. lack of adequate ethnic authorities; b. unequal C. lack of school-readiness existing programmes; d. repeated primary available in-service training educational in opportunities; programmes and inadequacy failures and a high percentage and secondary schools; South West Africa/Namibia, National Education Policv.

Many of these training courses were based on problems observed by advisers and inspectors during their visits to schools, on needs expressed by teachers during informal discussions, or on needs identified by participants of an earlier training course. In other instances it was not known with any degree of certainty who would be attending a particular training course and the instructors were compelled to make assumptions about the needs of participants, which frequently proved to have little validity. Even where the content of courses was based on classroom observation or on comments by teachers, the participants in the following course were not necessarily those whose experiences had helped to establish the course content. This was one of the penalties to be paid for a fragmented education system. In addition to face-to-face courses mounted by the ethnic authorities, teachers were also able to improve their academic qualifications by completing examinations for various standards This was likely to have been an arduous, by correspondence5. teacher long-term process, and, as with most pre-Independence meant that essential training for professional education, improvement was overlooked6. NGOs also mounted training for teachers. Prior to Independence, (CCN) and the Rijssing The Council of Churches in Namibia 5 J.D.

The Rijssing Foundation was also engaged in the training of educational leaders for a new, democratic Namibia and raising the awareness of school principals as to their role as agents for change. III. Present in-service traininq The in-service training taking place at the moment is conducted The by the MEC and by numerous non-governmental organizations. Ministry of Education and Culture mounted an in-service training programme in 1991 for Grade Eight teachers to introduce a new curriculum. The MEC has also conducted in-service courses in English language proficiency as well as in other subjects. The R&sing Foundation has recently organized a number of important workshops that have exposed principals to new policy decisions made within the Ministry of Education and Culture. The R&sing Foundation also conducts English competency courses for as well as presenting new methods of primary school teachers teaching. Present education work of the CCN includes the provision of mainly for adults and out of education through correspondence, The CCN also organizes short courses and seminars school youths. study centre supervisors, by correspondence aimed at teachers, The CCN and the R&sing Foundation have a joint and farmers. in-service education to teachers in the programme to provide fields of mathematics, science and English.

The teachers receive their study guides and assignments are required to attend courses during through the mail; teachers The Windhoek College of Education (WCE) the school holidays. teaching for primary school also offers courses through distance teachers. The Namibian Primary Teachers @ Programme (NPTP) is an in-service education project for primary school teachers, funded by the gives supportive European Economic Community (EEC). This project assistance to primary school teachers in the fields of science, mathematics and library science. English, 7 Another important in-service programme is the In-Service Training This and Assistance for Namibian Teachers, known as INSTANT. project is conducted by the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, in cooperation with the MEC and it is financially assisted by the EEC and others. The major aims of this project are to train mathematics and science teachers through school based workshops, as well as to assist the MEC in establishing a structure for inservice training of mathematics and science teachers across the nation. Other governmental and non-governmental organizations involved in in-service education are: Bureau of Literacy and Literature, Otto Benecke Stiftung, the British Council, UNESCO/UNDP, SIDA, USAID, etc. In spite of the increasing number of training activities being organized by the above mentioned bodies, the current in-service programmes do not seem to meet the needs of all serving teachers'. The pre-Independence pattern of training persists to the present but it is likely that the numbers of in-service As will be noted later training opportunities have increased. of teachers has in Chapter Four, a significant proportion However received some in-service training since Independence. the unevenness of the training, its ad hoc nature and the fact that some organizations are able to remove teachers from schools for training without the permission of the MEC, means that it remains unto-ordinated and undirected in terms of a systematic statement of teacher needs in the country. 7 In-Service Unesco. See: Namibia. Unesco Mission Report ED-BO/WS. 32, 1990. a CHAPTER TWO BACKGROUNDAND OBJECTIVES OF THE SURVEY I. Plannina for the future The process of planning to improve the current situation began even before Independence in March, 1990. A watershed conference to plan the improvement of teacher education took place in Lusaka, Zambia in 1989. In 1990 and 1991 alone, at least 15 reports, analyses and policy statements were produced which have a bearing on teacher education*. Early in 1990, just after Independence, Prof. John Turner from Manchester University in the United Kingdom completed a report on education in Namibia in general. This report made recommendations covering the entire education sector including the supply of teachers, structure of education, language usage in schools, on the National Institute for Educational Development, primary, secondary and tertiary education as well as ideas about the development of adult Turner suggested that the problem of who was education. qualified to teach would depend more on the needs of the profession rather than on any absolute criteria. In July, 1990 a seven-person Unesco Mission completed its work. The mission report was presented in two volumes and contained recommendations for both the structure and content of in-service training. The Unesco Mission Report gave several options by way of implementing its ideas, many of which were later incorporated In-Service into the Five Year Plan of the Working Group on In October of the same year, another Unesco Teacher Training. mission came and gave Government further guidelines as to how the plans from the earlier mission might be implemented and endorsed the establishment of an MEC co-ordinating group. Among the several documents published towards the end of 1990, Unicef's two are particularly relevant for teacher education: Reoort of an Assessment of Basic Education and the Academy's Memorandum to Cabinetresardinathe Establishment of the National The Unicef report talks about the age and Primarv Certificate. geographic as their teachers as well qualifications of distribution. It also mentions the problem of language usage. The Academy Memorandum provides the basis for a course to train primary school teachers. Early in 1991the MEC began implementing in earnest, many of the For example, in plans which had been made in '89 and '90. Director of the Unesco Hallack, 1991, Mr. Jacques January, Planning Educational Institute for International (IIEP) t discussed the parameters of cooperation between the Ministry of 8 See the bibliography for a complete list of these documents as well as references to Unesco guides for the establishment of in-service programmes and case studies and examples of how such programmes have been implemented in other countries. 9 Education and Culture and IIEP. This visit, part of the continuing interest Unesco has shown in the educational problems Namibia, of introduced a second phase of the on-going relationship, that of moving from general discussions on policy issues to concrete programmes; Namibian professional educators should soon be trained as part of IIEP's regular programme for educational planners. At the same time, a Working Group was established within the MEC to co-ordinate in-service teacher training. This Working Group was made up of educational leaders from different institutions. Among the functions of the Working Group were the following: to, analyze teacher the various in-service synchronize the service training, studies training, various and proposals strategies for for teacher relate such strategies to the needs of unqualified under-qualified teachers, define a cost effective strategies for teacher carried out. manner in which sustainable in-service training could inand be The group surveyed the problem by dealing with the subjects of teachers' resource centres, distance education, accreditation of of courses and the equivalency of teacher different types qualifications. The training of school principals was also a feature of their work. A discussion paper was prepared for a Seminar on Pre-Service and The plan In-Service Training held on Monday, 27 May, 1991. contained a number of the features recommended by the 1990 Unesco Mission, most especially the Mission's recommendations for a it was believed Nevertheless, programme with three components. that more information was needed about the specific needs of teachers.

The survev of in-service teacher trainina needs In order to determine what the needs of serving teachers were, representatives of the Namibian Government, in consultation with Unesco, initiated the survey of the needs on which this report is based. The survey was conducted in the context of a of an Integrated UNDP/Unesco project entitled, "Preparation Teachers' In-Service Education Programme (NAM/90/O04)1V. The objectives of the project were as follows: to, a. ascertain conditions; who teaches where and under what b. collect background information on such teachers, terms of type and level of formal education and preparation for teaching; C. determine the demands made on teachers and the extent to which they are presently able to meet such demands; d. ascertain the extent to which practising teachers are different parts likely to be available for INSET in of the country; e. use the information provided by (a) - (d) above to help the Think Tank to develop its draft INSET proposals fully, and in such a way as to meet the real training needs of serving teachers. in The project was agreed to by Government in July, 1991 and three consultants recruited, two from abroad and a national consultant The international consultants from the University of Namibia. At about the same time arrived in the country in mid-September. that the consultants arrived, the Working Group published a more refined and detailed version of its plan for in-service training. The plan had been expanded by means of work conducted by committees assembled to examine the main topics of the proposal. the stated objectives of the in-service teacher In the plan, training programme are as follows: a. to motivate and orientate teachers to a progressive philosophy of education which values the teaching of a and encourages and skills relevant knowledge classroom atmosphere in which communication between teacher and learners flourishes and which is learnercentred; b. to assist academic objective; C. teachers in acquiring and professional skills the appropriate to attain the above to assist teachers in improving their own proficiency in the English language and their ability to teach through the English medium; 11 III. d. to improve general knowledge and subject teachers to a point where they are able confidence; e. to inculcate in principals and other managers, the attitudes and managerial skills required to support objective community. In the plan, the need for this survey was reiterated as one of the major activities of the Think Tank's work'*. The objectives of the competence in to teach with survey On 20 September, 1991, a meeting of the Working Party on InService Teacher Education (INSET) was held. Twenty-f: -e people mainly from the Ministry of Education & Culture were pr.msent but there were also representatives from the Ministry of Labour and from the main teachers' union, NANTU. The purpose of this meeting was to determine precisely how best to serve the Ministry's interest in collecting information about the training needs of working teachers in the system. The meeting, chaired by a senior representative of the MEC, was divided into three sections. In the first section, it was possible to further refine the overall objectives of the survey which were stated as follows: a. to collect information teachers for in-service b. to provide programme; c. to focus training language, in particular on issues involving equal opportunity regional differences, etc.), of in-service (e.g. gender, d. to provide Culture's a control for the Ministry annual education census", of e. to assist with the development service teacher training. information about the training; about the needs proposed of serving in-service Education of a programme for SI in- The second section of the Working Group's meeting mainly concentrated on identifying types of information needed to mount It was an effective in-service teacher education programme. stressed several times that the process of completing a useful 10 Namibia, Ministry of Education & Culture, Five Year In-service Develooment Plan for Teacher Improvement: Prosramme (MEC: Windhoek, Namibia, 1991), p. 4.- 11 1991 school The data from the August, too late to enable this objective to the survey team. census arrived be achieved by 12 survey was one of trading the desire for collecting information for the time available to conduct the survey. The information participants regarded as relevant to the survey was divided into two main categories: (1) general information about the teacher and, (2) information about teachers' attitudes to in-service training, especially in relation to their conditions of service. It was also thought necessary to determine the views of some principals regarding the training needs of the staff at their schools.

Choosina an annroach The choice of an overall method for this research was implicit in the formulation of the project which supported it. The first statements of the Working Group on Teacher In-Service Training also implied the method to be used. Both in the UNDP/Unesco Project and in the Five Year Development Plan for Teacher Improvement the term 19surveytt was used. Nevertheless, other approaches could have been considered as ways to provide useful information about the professional needs of serving teachers. In-depth case studies of one or more primary and secondary schools no doubt would have yielded clues based on interviews and on observations of teacher behaviour, as to what these needs were. Other naturalistic or ethnographic methods might also have been employed. In fact, case studies and action research were ruled out for this study since the problems teachers were facing in the classroom were already fairly well known in general terms. The precise configuration of these views as to how they wished problems was not; nor were teachers' to solve the problems known. There were two essential choices remaining: either a specialized census of the entire population of teachers or a sample survey. A census would not have been possible given the constraints on time and technical and material resources available. A survey of a sample of serving teachers was the only practical alternative. II. Samolins techniques Sampling involves the selection of a portion of a population as To help ensure that the representative of the entire population. sample is representative, the ideal solution, seldom achieved, is to select a random sample from the "target" population. A random sample is one in which each individual in the defined population has an equal chance of being included. the use of random sampling soon In the case of this survey, of all members of the target appeared impossible as a list was not easily available or accessible the teachers, population, were However, even if such list at the Ministry of Education. list and obtained, selecting individual teachers from that administering a survey instrument to each of them throughout the country, would have required a period of time and a quantity of resources far beyond the limits of the present project. It was found to be more feasible and convenient to select schools and administer the questionnaire to teachers in these schools rather than to select teachers from a list of all members of the This sampling technique, usually known as teaching population. is statistically less accurate and less "cluster sampling", sensitive to population differences than simple random sampling. 14 Nevertheless, these disadvantages compared to the considerable savings result from using cluster sampling. have little weight when in time and money that can The sample was selected in such a way as to make certain that certain subgroups in the teaching population would be represented in the sample in proportion to their numbers in the population itself. This procedure, usually referred to as stratified sampling, was applied to select sub-samples of teachers according to the following criteria: the types of schools (primary, combined14, or secondary) where they are teaching; the geographical location of these schools according to the present administrative subdivisions (regions); the gender of the teacher. Other important factors, such as teachers' qualifications could have been considered in designing the sample; however, the lack of sufficiently detailed and up-to-date information relating to these factors as well as the limited time available necessitated limiting the stratification to the above mentioned sub-samples. III. The size of the sample Comparisons between various subgroups in a stratified sample require that a minimum number of cases be included in the smallest subgroup. The total sample has to be large enough so that a meaningful number of cases in the smallest subgroup may be obtained". In designing the sample and determining its these requirements size, as well as the already mentioned limitations of data availability and time constraints had to ke taken into account. The following tables show the latest available data on the number of schools by region and type of school (Table I) and on the number of teachers by region, type of school and sex (Tables II and III). These data were collected in January, 1991, only ten days from the beginning of the academic year, in order to provide preliminary summary statistics to the various departments in the Ministry of Education & Culture. In particular, these statistics are used by the Personnel Division in the Ministry to assess the needs for appointing additional teachers at the beginning of the school year. They tend to underestimate, therefore, the number of teachers actually teaching at the various schools later in the year. 14 A combined school is a school which primary and secondary school grades. 15 This minimum number depends on the type of analysis, see: W.

This number was established on the assumption that an average of three teachers could be surveyed at each school. This gives a total of 124 schools (372 teachers divided by three) distributed by region and type of school as shown in Table VI below. Table VI.

First, a computer printout was produced, listing the schools by within each region, by district/or education region and, type I inspection circuit Then the number of schools in a subgroup (see table I) was divided by the number needed for the sample (see Table 19 would give a number rlnrl. A number smaller than **ntl was i this then selected at random. Finally, starting with that number, every nth school was selected in that given subgroup. The same procedure for each subgroup was repeated until all the schools were identified. This technique was preferred to random sampling as it ensured (having listed the schools in the appropriate order) a better geographical distribution of the selected schools within each region. In Figure 1. of the Annex the selected schools are plotted in a map of Namibia to illustrate the geographical coverage of the survey. VI) V. Selection of the teachers Once the schools were selected, the minimum number of male and female teachers to be surveyed in each school was determined taking into account available data on teachers in that school as well as the need to conform with subgroup totals of Table V. teachers could be selected at According to these specifications drawing names from a list provided by the random at the school, headmaster with the help of a table of random numbers. To be able to complete the field work within the time limits established in a number of officials from the Ministry headquarters the workplan, as well as from the regional offices were asked to participate in Four teams were formed, each team visiting a total of the survey. 31 schools in different regions and administering the questionnaire to more than 100 teachers during the three weeks of the field work. The list of the schools visited as well as the number of male and selected in each school are shown in Table 1. of female teachers the Annex. VI. The survey instrument The design of the survey instrument involved a considerable amount This included of work during the first three weeks of the mission. and other officials with Ministry's consultations extensive professionals concerned with the questionnaire design, developing a coding system and related coding instructions and pre-testing the questionnaire before final redrafting and printing. 20 A brain-storming session was held with most of the members of the INSET Working Group with the purpose of better defining the objectives of the survey, stating specifically the type of information needed and deciding on the instrument to be used to collect this information. As a result of this meeting, a first draft of the questionnaire was prepared with the idea that it would serve as an interview guide, although rather structured. At that meeting, the overall approach to the survey and the techniques and resources which might be used were also discussed. Specifically, the following essential elements were isolated and refined: Languages to be used Personnel which might be involved The method to be used to select the The survey instrumentation sample The last issue, the means of collecting the desired information, generated the most discussion in subsequent meetings of the survey team. Broadly defined, **the training needs of serving teachers** could be interpreted not only in terms of what the teachers themselves wanted, but whether or not they were effective classroom teachers. Thus, while everyone agreed on the need to ask teachers for their opinions, it was decided not to undertake observations of actual lesson presentations, in consideration of the very tight time schedule planned for the field work. Other more technical meetings, one on 25 of September, another on the 30th, were held to refine the questionnaire by rearranging the order of some items, rewording some others, including neu questions and dropping others that appeared not necessary or were overlapping. Finally, the questionnaire was pre-tested in a number of face-toface interviews. Due to the lack of time and to the fact that it was school vacation, the number of teachers involved In this and could exercise was limited to those few who could be contacted be available in Windhoek. In spite of its limitations, the pretesting proved to be very useful in suggesting further and final changes to the questionnaire aiming mainly at reducing its size and improving clarity. In addition, the pre-testing exercise showed two main problems related to the use of face-to-face interviews : the time needed for administering the questionnaire and the language of communication. The time needed to complete one interview was at least one hour. Therefore, interviewing three or four teachers in a school would have taken three to four hours, making it very difficult to visit a second school, often quite distant, in the same day as planned. As regards the language problem it was clear that English was not sufficiently understood by all teachers and that on-the-spot translation would have further prolonged the time needed for the interview. 21 In order to cope with the above problems it was decided to adopt a different procedure to administer the questionnaire. Instead of interviewing each teacher separately, the selected sample of teachers in each school would be asked to fill in the questionnaire simultaneously under the guidance of a member of the survey team. As concerned the language problem, the teacher would be given the possibility of using a language more familiar than English to understand the questions and properly fill in the answers. For this purpose the questionnaire was translated and printed in two other languages: Oshiwambo, used mainly in the Ondangwa region, and Afrikaans which is widely used in the rest of the country. This procedure proved to be very satisfactory as it reduced the time for the interviews to about two hours for each school while at the same time allowing for interviewing a larger number of teachers than initially foreseen. The Questionnaire as well as the Coding Instructions and the List It can be seen that two main of Codes are presented in Appendix I. types of questions were included in order to gather different types of information : the first part of the questionnaire is concerned with factual data about the school (location,type of school, etc.) and the teacher (gender, age, qualifications, workload, etc.); the second part relates mainly to teaching conditions and teacher's Most of needs and attitudes with respect to in-service training. the questions were asked in such a way that they could be answered one or more alternatives from either *IYestl or *lN~*l or by selecting Although space is provided for comments or a list of choices.

In fact, it understand required a other than was found that many teachers interviewed the meaning of some of the questions sometimes fair amount of clarification, that of the questionnaire. did not quite asked. This in a language The main reason why most of the questions were designed in closed form (such as the multiple choice format) is that this allows for a simultaneous development of the coding system to be used for the This implies considerable savings in time processing of the data. as the coding could take place soon after the interview, using the 16 research has shown clear advantages of In this respect, the interview technique over the mailed questionnaire, see for example T. Legacy and F. Bennet, *IA Comparison of Mailed Questionnaire and Personal Interview Methods of Journal of Vocational Education Data Collection...'@, Research 4, No. 3, (1979), pp. 27-39. 22 codes already established for each answer. In addition to the questionnaires survey teams were provided with a set of coding instructions and a list of codesI' so that they could do the coding themselves after visiting the schools. Once coded, the questionnaires could be dispatched to the Ministry for processing at the end of each week of field work. However, this procedure worked only partly as foreseen due to some lack of organization in terms of timely provision of a data typists and computer equipment as well as lack of time available for coding during the field work, as some teams used much time for travelling in the more remote areas. Apart from these delays the three-week programme of visits to the schools was very well planned and efficiently carried out with the assistance of the Regional Offices and other officers from the Ministry's headquarters. VII. The field work Interviews with teachers, the field work, began in the middle of October. Four teams started the work on different days depending on where they were going. A fifth team visited schools in the Windhoek Region in the second week of the work. Tables in Appendix II show the composition of the teams and their itineraries configured on the basis of the schools sampled. The teams completed their work by 2 of November. The survey teams were allowed a certain flexibility on the number and gender of teachers to be selected at each school in order to cope with possible discrepancies between the planned interviews (last two columns of Table 1. of the Annex) and the situation found at the school. In a number of schools for example, the male/female proportion was quite different from what the IllOth day" statistics the absence of some teachers made the showed. In other cases, This resulted in a larger selection procedure less accurate. number of interviews than initially foreseen (418 as compared to 372) but also created some distortions in the distribution of teachers by gender and type of school with respect to the original structure of the sample. Table VII shows the number of teachers which was actually type of school and gender. Comparing these interviewed by region, data with corresponding data in Tables III and V we note that, while for Namibia as a whole differences are only slight, this is not the case for a few Regions, such as Khorixas and Rundu in particular. In the case of Khorixas Region these differences are mainly due to the fact that two primary schools were unable to be 17 Most of the codes used had been already developed by the Statistics Division of the Ministry in connection with the Annual School Census. 23 visited: one of the two substitute schools was not properly selected, as it was found to be a secondary school. This lowered the proportion of primary school teachers interviewed in this Region (15 instead of 19 as planned) and affected the sex In the case of Rundu Region differences with distribution as well. the original sample structure are observed in the sex distribution of teachers in combined and secondary schools. This is due mainly to the small numbers involved: very small changes in absolute numbers are reflected in large changes in the percentages.

After some comparisons between the survey data and available school census data, the research topics listed in Chapter Two are addressed in terms of what can be learnt from the frequency tables and cross-tabulations of the survey responses to questionnaire. The statistical tables presenting the results of the survey are included in the Annex. Reference to these tables will be made in the analysis by simply recalling their numberI'. I. Comoarisons with census data The survey was processed using the Integrated Micro-computer Processing System (IMPS)l', a software package used by the Statistics Division of the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) to process the annual school census which took place in August By the time this report was being prepared some preliminary 1991. Although not all the results from this census became available. it is interesting to compare below some of schools are included2' the survey results with corresponding census data. Table VIII.

This is due mainly to the fact that the available census information for that region represents only 86.5% of the schools. Once the data for Ondangwa becomes more complete the percentage of teachers for that region will increase while the same percentage for the other regions (whose data are already almost complete) will necessarily decrease, thus levelling off the present discrepancies. As regards Table IX we note that the percentage of female teachers is higher in the census than in the survey for most regions. We note however that this percentage is also systematically higher in the census as compared with the 10th day statistics (see Table III in Chapter Three). As the sample was based on the latter data this explains the reason for most of the differences observed. Only in the case of Khorixas and Rundu can these differences be attributed to other reasons as already explained in Chapter Three. Finally the comparison between data on academic and professional shows only very slight qualifications (Tables X and XI below) differences. Unfortunately the census information available did not allow comparisons between breakdowns of more detailed qualifications. Table X.

The comparison with census data, above, suggests that this has been achieved. Table 1 lists the schools visited in each region and indicates for each school the typp (primary, combined or secondary), its location as well as the number of male and female (urban or rural) The geographical location of the schools teachers interviewed. visited is illustrated in Figure 1, while Table 2 summarizes their distribution by region and type of school. It will be observed from Table 3 that female teachers predominate in three regions and in the overall analysis (57%), with Ondangwa having the highest proportion (67%) and Katima Mulilo the lowest The ratio in primary and combined schools approximates to (32%). while in secondary schools there is an almost the overall picture, even split between male and female teachers, for the country as a whole.

For the urban-rural definition used in the the '*Coding Instructions" in Appendix I. survey, see 30 III. Personal A. Vital characteristics of teachers statistics The age of teachers is given in Tables 7 and 8. It will be seen that 78% of the teaching force is under the age of 40 (81% and 73% for females and males respectively). This is the group for whom in-service training during the next five years will give returns of improved teaching competence over a period of ten years or longer. Information on the marital status of teachers and on the number of dependents is given in Tables 9 and 10. Sixty-four per cent of all teachers are married and 47% of all teachers have more than three dependants. Family commitments are likely to have an effect on the amount of time which a teacher can spare for in-service training, as well as influencing availability for residential courses away from the home town or village. The analysis of the home language of teachers is given in Tables 11, 12, and 13, from which it will be seen that 42% of teachers have Oshiwambo as home language and 20% have Afrikaans. Only two teachers in the sample have English as home language. However, 175 out of 418 teachers (42%) claim to have a good command of English, while 53% claim that their English is fair. Only 5% claim to be poor in English or to have no command of the language at all (Table 14). It must, however, be noted that these statistics reflect the respondents' own evaluation of their language competence. This information should be compared with teachers' evaluation of their need for further training in English, and with principals' evaluation of the needs of their staff for training in English (Tables 65, 97); and also with the indication in Table 41 that about 50% of all teaching takes place through the medium of English. Thirty-six per cent of teachers claim to be conversant with more than two languages besides their mother tongue (Table 15). B. Teachers' aualifications The qualifications of respondents are reflected in Tables 16 to 25. It can be seen that 49% of teachers have an academic qualification lower than Standard 10 (Table 16) and 36% of teachers have no professional qualification at all (Table 17)22. The corresponding percentages for teachers in primary schools are 58% and 38% 22 In the present system, Standard 10 is the terminal grade of secondary education corresponding to 12 years 2f schooling. In the new system being implemented, the term Ti-.e "Standard". llGradel' will be used instead of equivalence between the two terms is as follows: STD(X) = GRADE (X+2); e.g. STD 10 = GRADE 12. ., 31 respectively and for teachers in secondary schools 12% and 22% respectively (Tables 20 and 23). The same percentages for combined schools are 61% and 44% respectively, indicating that teachers are less qualified than in primary schools. Regional comparisons show that the proportion of teachers with less than standard 10 as highest academic qualification range from 73% for Rundu to 29% for Windhoek (Table 19), while those without a professional qualification range from 51% for Rundu to 20% for Windhoek (Table 22). For females in the sample, those with less than standard 10 a professional qualification are 52% (Table 21), and those without are 36% (Table 24), showing no significant difference from male teachers. These figures confirm earlier indications that serving teachers need to be given every opportunity to improve their formal and While the debate continues on the professional qualifications. exact level of qualification necessary for competent teaching in it must be accepted that teachers' the various school phases, confidence will necessarily be undermined by frequent references to their being "unqualified". C. Salary Cateaorv The classification of teachers by category for salary purposes is It was evident during interviews that shown in Tables 26 and 27. many teachers did not know their category and that a number of principals did not have at their disposal this information for their staff. For 9% of the teachers this factor was recorded as from the category was deduced Vnknown81, while in some instances by a member of the survey team. the teacher's qualifications Teachers' lack of knowledge about their salary categories suggests a lack of understanding of the structure of salary scales, with improved which impact the insight into lack of consequent It suggests, too, qualifications might have on their pay packets. that many teachers are not in a position to determine whether they are being paid on the correct scale.

Present Dart-time by upgrading their professional studies Tables 31 and 32 reflect the part-time study towards a formal qualification in which teachers are presently engaged. Forty-eight per cent of teachers are currently engaged in such study, and of these 62% are studying towards a standard 10 certificate. Gaining this qualification brings about an immediate improvement in salary, as well as access to other academic and professional courses of study. Teachers were not questioned about their perceptions of the direct relevance of this qualification to their teaching, but it is known from other sources that the subject combinations taken by most teachers include subjects which will have little relevance to their performance as teachers. Mathematics and physical science, in particular, while both these subjects have are neglected, relevance to all primary teachers and there is a shortage of teachers of these subjects in the secondary school. Forty-five per cent of those studying do not expect to have completed the course for the amount of time by the end of 1992, which has implications such teachers are likely to have available for other forms of inservice training. Of the teachers registered with the Ministry's Distance Teaching Division within the Department of Non-Formal Education in 1990, 240 For biology offered Afrikaans with 78% passing the examination. there were 172 entries with only 8% passing, while for mathematics Physical science was not one of the six candidates was successful. not offered as a subject. If the 33% of teachers currently studying for a standard 10 or lower qualification is compared with the 49% who hold a lower the urgency of 16), than standard 10 (Table qualification determining necessary levels of qualification and of revising the salary structure accordingly becomes apparent. The value presently attached to the standard 10 certificate is drawing energy and commitment away from other studies which may possibly be more beneficial to the teaching profession in the long run.

Thirty-eight principals, five deputy principals and 20 heads of department were drawn in the random sampling at schools. A higher ratio of heads of department to principals would have been expected, indicating perhaps that there are many head of department posts unfilled. Eighteen of the 63 teachers in promotion posts were female. IV. Conditions A. Workload of service of teachers The The workload of teachers is presented in Tables 37 to 39. actual teaching time is expressed as a percentage of available With the regular references to overteaching time at the school. it was surprising to learn large classes and shortages of teachers, that 34% of teachers spend less than 76% of teaching time in front for to a circular "Teaching periods According of a class. headmasters and teaching staff" dated 24 April 1991, heads of department are to spend between 69% and 82% of their time teaching, deputy principals between 55% and 64% of their time, and principals proportion depending between 7% and 84% of their time, the actual is that all other The assumption on the size of the school. teachers will spend almost all of their time.in the classroom. Since only 15% of the respondents hold promotion posts (and of these, 36% indicated that they spend at least 76% of their time in one would have expected the percentage of teachers the classroom), The four teaching for less than 76% of the time to be lower. teachers teaching in excess of 100% of the time are junior primary class teachers who have an additional teaching responsibility (for a subject like needlework) in a senior primary class after their junior primary class has gone home. that Also surprising was the fact teachers were extremely uncertain suggesting that personal timetables, deviated from than adhered to.

Of the 294 teachers who indicated that they do subject teaching, it will be seen from Table 42 that 14% teach only one subject, 25% 24% teach three subjects, and 21% teach four teach two subjects, The subjects. The remaining teachers teach five or more subjects. larger the number of subjects which a teacher teaches, the more in-service training frequently he or she will have to attend courses if they are subject specific.

Forty-nine per cent of the teachers who indicated which subject they would prefer to teach have a qualification lower than standard 10 in that subject. 35 D. Availability of teachina materials Teachers were asked to indicate which of a list of 14 teaching aids in their classrooms for them to use. were available Their responses are shown in Table 47. Textbooks and the blackboard were available for 96% of the respondents. maps and charts, Stationery, and paints and crayons were reported as available by more than 50% of teachers. The other items (reference books and libraries, pictures, overhead projectors, tape recorders, film and video, globes, flash-cards) were less frequently available. E. Home 1anCYuace of DuDils and teachers In Table 48 teachers indicate the home languages of most of the pupils in their classrooms. The most frequent language reported is Oshiwambo (42%). The next language most often given as being spoken by most pupils is Afrikaans Altogether nine (16%). languages were given by teachers in response to this question. Table 49 gives the same information by region. With the exception of Windhoek Region, and to a lesser extent Keetmanshoop and Khorixas where pupils home languages vary, in the other regions almost all pupils pupils speak the same local language. In Table 50 we see that the home language of teachers generally coincides with the home language of most of their pupils. F. Class For the reported children, size country as a whole, the largest group of teachers (31%) that their largest classes were between 30 and 39 the average being 41 (Table 51). Table 52 reveals that the largest classes are found in the Ondangwa Eighty-five per cent of the teachers in Ondangwa have Region. It is also the only region which has classes of at least 40 pupils. In a few cases in this Region class size of more than 70 pupils. the largest classes were over 100 although this was coded as 99. Table 53 shows that the largest classes are combined schools while in 8 cases secondary more than 50 pupils are reported G. Factors adversely affectina found in primary and school classes with teachinq When teachers were asked which factors affected their teaching adversely, the majority of them stated that large class size was Difficulty in communicating with the most critical factor (23%). problems was given by 22% of their pupils owing to language teachers, while lack of basic teaching equipment was indicated by 16% of teachers (Table 54). 36 When these factors are analyzed by region correlate well with what teachers have reported their largest classes. In Ondangwa Region, where the largest classes, class size was chosen as factor affecting their teaching (32% of teachers). V. The need for in-service teacher (Table 55), they about the size of teachers reported the most serious education Broadly defined, in-service teacher education could refer to any training teachers received while they are still working. Considered in this manner, there could be said to be two major categories of in-service training, defined by the approach the courses use: courses teachers take with an instructor present (face-to-face), and courses taken using distance teaching methods. Of the former, there are long-term courses of a more formal nature usually taken at a college or university as well as programmes mounted at schools or in colleges which are short-term, offered after school, during holidays or weekends. Of the latter type there are up-grading or informational programmes offered by radio. There are also academic and professional courses given by various Since the Five Year colleges and institutions by correspondence. Plan for teacher improvement proposes making use of all these methods to improve the quality of teaching in Namibia, some mention For the will be made of each mode in this section of the paper. in-service teacher training will be discussed in most part though, terms of short-term courses offered to teachers after school or during holidays. A. Teachers' exoerience with in-service traininq Table 57 shows that 64% of all teachers surveyed recall having had Of all the teachers who said they some form of in-service training. 95% said it was worthwhile for had training on-the-job, 64% said that attendance was compulsory. them to have attended; These figures indicate a high level of appreciation for in-service Table 58 reveals that the Ondangwa courses received in the past. received in the country, with 40% of the teachers Region training than the other regions: proportionally less in-service only 33% of the teachers who had INSET are in this region. The same percentage applies to Windhoek but this region represents 28% of In Katima Mulilo 71% of the respondents had the teaching corps. some INSET while in Khorixas the corresponding percentage was 74%. the highest percentage of teachers In terms of the type of school, with some in-service training are found in combined teachers in primary schools and secondary schools (72%), while schools reported having received training in a lower proportion 60% and 68% respectively (Table 59). Table XIII below shows all the subjects teachers reported as either teaching at present or having taught in the past. It also.shows the years in which they report having had their most recent in-service 37 training in who report most recent their most (43%) said Table XIII. that subject. Thirty-seven per cent of all teachers having had in-service training, indicated that their training took place in 1991. A further 21% have said recent training was in 1990 or 1989.

However, 40% of them have never had any in-service training as class teachers; of those who have, 50% report that their most recent in-service training was before 1990. English is the second most popular subject; more than Of those that did, half (58%) have had training in this subject. In the field of 28% had their most recent training before 1990. the mathematics, a subject preferred by 14% of the teachers, training and situation is almost the same; 50% have had in-service of these, 15% reported their most recent training before 1990; about a third have been trained this year. Table 46 shows the subjects teachers prefer to teach together with their qualifications and eventual in-service training in those subjects. Most teachers who prefer class teaching have less than a Std. 10 qualification (78%) and have had some in-service training (60%). 38 cTeat B. ers' Question 19 in the questionnaire asked teachers who had received in-service training, in which ways the training was worthwhile or not. Not all teachers gave comments (193 out of 269 who received INSET responded). The replies most frequently - given are shown in Table XIV below. Table XIV.

They were asked to rank their choices in terms of their importance, first, second and third. Most teachers (60%) indicated that they believed training should first of all improve their professional skills. Twentyfour per cent believed in-service should help them obtain a higher qualification, while for others (9.3%) improving career prospect was the most important benefit (Table 60). Out of the 101 teachers who believe that in-service training should help them improve their qualification, 33% hold a Standard 10 or When the responses are analyzed higher qualification (Table 64).

When subject knowledge also ranked high on the list of choices. analyzed by region (Table 66), it is found that of the teachers .___ -- 39 wanting training in English for communication, those from Ondangwa and Windhoek regions together represent 83% of the total. Teachers in Windhoek give the strongest indication of wanting training in subject knowledge (38%), while in Ondangwa those who selected training in child psychology as their first choice ranked second in regions the largest the region (20% or 34 out of 168). In all In terms number of responses were for teaching methods training. of training needs in different types of schools, primary school teachers consider their training needs in child psychology and study skills to be relatively more important than their colleagues Of the teachers who in combined or secondary schools (Table 67). selected English language training and psychology as their most were in the large needed area of training (Table 68), females majority (69% and 61% respectively).

They were asked to indicate whether they strongly respondents. agreed or strongly disagreed about the statements or had an opinion Their responses were given a score in between these two extremes. The scores obtained in each question on a scale from one to four. were added up to give a global indication of attitude. The range of The range of on this item was from 9 to 36. possible scores The mean score obtained scores varied from 18 to 34 (Table 70). that most teachers tend in the direction of was 26.7, indicating being child-centred but may not fully understand the concept as a complete philosophy of teaching. For example, a number of teachers believed that children should be helped to reach their potential, but also believed that some will always fail. those with the lowest academic qualifications tended to In general, be more teacher-centred than those with more education (Table 73). It is also true that higher scores (pupil-centred attitudes) were obtained from the Windhoek Region than from other regions (Table 72). In order to analyze the degree to which teachers might be receptive They a second attitude question was asked of them. to new ideas, were required to indicate whether they agreed or disagreed with two which reflected attitudes to different classroom statements There were three situations (Question 24 in the questionnaire). which enabled their choices to be two, three or four, values, Vwol@ reflecting a preference for no change and "four" quantified, 40 The mean value obtained from this item was the choice for change. 3.7, once again indicating a tendency in favour of changing the traditional pattern of classroom performance (Table 71).

The teacher's role in the x INSET nrocramme Nearly every teacher (94%) surveyed said they would be willing to participate in future in-service programmes, mainly just to attend courses (Table 76). In addition, some said they would be willing to teach their colleagues in such programmes, to organize courses or help manage a centre.

There are some regional variations to the latter finding: most teachers in Keetmanshoop, Khorixas and Rundu have opted to stay in their schools for training, perhaps owing to the long distances from other suitable venues (Table 87). While teachers who would choose to use local training centres or the school are in majority females, among teachers who indicated they would like to travel to distant centres males outnumbered females by nearly three to one (Table 89). A good proportion (43%) of teachers from primary schools would like to have training at their school even though the majority (46%) of them would rather attend training at a nearby centre (Table 88). Most teachers (42%) would prefer to have someone from a teacher training college or indeed anyone qualified (35%) to be their trainer, (Table 90). G.

Ten of the 38 principals interviewed indicated that teaching Knowledge of methods was the area were INSET was most needed. considered a priority area of training, English was also especially by primary school principals (Tables 97 - 99). 43 CHAPTER FIVE CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS I. Trainins Priorities It is apparent that teachers would welcome an intensified inservice training programme based on their estimates of past training which were mostly favourable. Moreover, given that 64% of all serving teachers in Namibia have received on-the-job training it is only reasonable to suggest that an in-service training programme begin with those with no training, since it is apparent that priorities will have to be set. To be perceived to be of some use to teachers, in-service training must continue to provide the benefits teacher considered important in past programmes. Most want their professional skills to be improved; for obtaining a higher others, qualification is likely to be important. Future in-service programmes should consider linking mastery of selected teaching skills with up-grading of formal qualifications. Care would have to be taken to ensure that the non-formal nature of in-service training does not dilute the high standard of performance Namibians have come to expect of their teachers. Professional training of the traditional, short-term in-service type should provide another option to teachers who may also be studying to improve their academic standing or who may not be able to attend more formal, long-term professional courses at teachers' colleges. survey and from From the analysis of results considerations the following recommendations suggest the above themselves: 1. The INSET programme should begin with those who have had no in-service training. However, all teachers should eventually be included in the programme. 2. In-service training should begin teachers have received proportionally those in other regions. 3. The MEC should consider linking mastery and the up-grading of formal qualifications. II. Imorovina the orofessionalism in the less of regions training teaching where than skills of teachers services are recognized by There is no doubt that if teachers' means of improvements to pay and conditions of service their Nevertheless, sustained sense of worth will be increased. dedication to profession of teaching expressed in terms of high quality classroom performance can only be achieved in two ways. First, teachers must adopt a commitment to excellence as part of Second, they must be trained their personal system of values. 44 to perform be evident in such a way that from their work. their commitment to excellence will High-grade performance in the classroom has now come to mean that teachers must bring about changes in pupil behaviour as specified by the objectives of the school curriculum which may have been derived in part from the essential structures of the traditional subject disciplines. It also means providing children with learning experiences they cannot receive at home. By focusing teaching on changing pupil behaviour, learning at school becomes child-centred and the teacher, only one of several media by which this learning can take place. Thus it becomes apparent that the more children learn as expressed in terms of their mastery of selected skills, knowledge and attitudes, the higher the professional credibility of the teacher becomes. The survey has shown that most teachers are ready to adapt their teaching to the demands of higher pupil achievement. They are ready to change the way they practise their profession in the classroom. However, they may not yet have become conscious of all the elements of a child-centred philosophy of learning, nor of how to put such a philosophy into practice. Thus an important part of any in-service training programme will be to demonstrate how this can be done. From the above discussion, the following recommendations follow: 4. Teachers to adapt 5. Teachers must be trained to perform in such a way in the classroom that their commitment to excellence will be evident from their work. 6. Teachers must be trained to bring about behaviour as specified by the objectives curriculum. 7. The elements of a child-centred heart of any in-service teacher approach to teachers and provide practise the philosophy. III. must learn a standard The Woes of how to recognize excellent teaching of excellence to their work. in-service trainina and change in pupil of the school philosophy must be at the The training programme. opportunities for them to to be nrovided. Earlier, two major categories of in-serviceteachertraining were referred to, having been grouped by the media of instruction, Teachers should distance methods and face-to-face approaches. still be encouraged to improve their academic qualifications by distance other and radio correspondence, subscribing to However, the MEC may wish techniques as they have in the past. to direct such study more towards the needs of the classroom by if it meets a pre-determined need of the means of subsidies, the Ministry may wish to pay for school system. For example, teachers academic study if it needs English teachers, and teachers are willing to take English language courses by mail or by radio. 45 A system of eligibility for study leave should be worked out for teachers who want to complete a qualification at university or at a teachers' college in an area of the Ministry's need. In due it may be possible to work out a means of teacher upcourse, grading consisting of a combination of distance methods and training in residence at colleges, the university or at resource centres during school holidays. Such a programme would differ from traditional correspondence education in that it could be developed and certified by the MEC. Responses from several of the questions in the survey instrument have given clear guidance as to the content of an in-service programme, no matter which form it takes. A curriculum for inservice teacher training should consist of the following topics. The theory, demonstration and practice of modern teachinq methods which have been shown by virtue of classroom research to be effective ways of improving pupil achievement. Child nsvcholocv make use of the - how children learn and how teachers knowledge in the classroom.

Instead of providing teachers solely with information about the subjects they teach, it is recommended that subject Experience has knowledge be combined with teaching skills. shown that there are three types of practising teachers : (1) those with no professional training for whom scripted, lVteacher-proof' lesson plans must be provided, (2) those trained to a level where they are able to choose a teaching method from among a number of different approaches to a given lesson and, (3) teachers who are able to construct their lessons on the basis of an expert knowledge of their subject Given the and the skills inherent in the subject itself. wide range of training and experience among professionals in it is likely that in-service training will have to Namibia, prepare teachers at all three levels. However, the ultimate classroom create self-sufficient should be to goal operatives, level three. It was shown that primary class teaching, English and mathematics were the subjects to which teachers devote most teaching time. These are also the areas in which most of the in-service training since there are many who have Nevertheless, has taken place. never had training in any of these subjects, they might form the basis for thinking about training in subject teaching method. Of course, the precise configuration of the training for the above subjects will depend on the level, primary, junior econdary of the teachers involved. or senior secondary, 46 The recommendations follows: made in this section may be summarized as 8. The MEC should consider working out a system of study leave for teachers to permit them to complete academic and/or professional qualifications for the purpose of up-grading their teaching abilities. 9. In-service teaching education should utilize all of the available media for training teachers on the job including short courses during and radio courses, correspondence the cumulative effect of which is to equip school holidays, teachers with usable teaching skills. 10. MEC may wish to consider working out a system of subsidies for teachers to encourage them to take courses which will be of some use to them as professionals in the classroom. 11. A curriculum for in-service teacher education, no matter which of the media are used, should comprise the following child (1) modern teaching methods, areas of study: (2) (3) education foundations and, (4) skills for psychology, teaching in subject area. IV.

It should also be provided during school holidays. The MEC should make certain that either in-service courses are offered within walking distance of teachers' homes and/or schools or that transportation to courses either be provided or paid for. Some teachers could be used to train their colleagues. However, to do this it would be necessary to use only the better qualified teachers of those who indicate a willingness to teach their colleagues. If possible these teachers should be included in the planning and development of the entire programme from the beginning. The following discussion: recommendations suggest themselves from the above 12. Principals and inspectors of schools should receive training in new teaching methods before their teachers. This training will enable them to become instructional leaders in the schools for which they are responsible. 13. When school principals are management given school training, it should be done in such a way that an emphasis on improving the school's instructional programme is given first priority. 14. An orientation workshop be held for education key professionals at the beginning of 1992 to develop objectives for in-service training and to guide the development of instructional materials. 15. Training for teachers should take place at local centres near the schools where they work. If these local centres are nearby schools, provision should be made for adequate instructional aids to be available to facilitate the training. 16. Transportation should be facilitate their attendance could either be in the form or a cash payment to allow transportation. 17.

This of the provision of a vehicle them to use other available for The to 48 V. Institutionalization traininq. of curriculum development and This recommendation is only peripherally related to in-service teacher education but is made here with the idea of suggesting an ideal context in which in-service training can take place. Much of the burden of effected reform of basic education and even of secondary education in Namibia, with the concomitant curriculum development and teacher training it involves, could be lifted from the MEC Head Office by the establishment of a curriculum development and training unit. The recently establishedNational Institute for Educational Development (NIED) should serve this purpose. Such an institution should be governed by a board of directors, the Chairman of which should be the Permanent Secretary for Education & Culture and Vice-Chair the Vice-chancellor of the University of Namibia. The main functions of NIED should Assist with the preparation for education at all levels Help instructors demands of the Print part trial of the Recommendation of specific learning objectives of the school system; and teachers prepare curricula objectives drawn system; copies of instructional new curricula and try Mount in-service curricula were Supervise with the be as follows: courses for implemented; to meet the materials which are them in sample schools; teachers to ensure and evaluate the use of the curricula help of the Ministry Inspectorate. from this item may be summarized that new in schools as follows: 19. The entire in-service teacher training endeavour can be constitution of a curriculum best supported by the development and teacher training unit, such as NIED, in which the specific needs of curricula are established, the developed, programme instructional objectives of an teaching materials prepared and tried, and teachers trained to use the materials. 20. A curriculum development and teacher education unit should own board of governors its be semi-autonomous with consisting of members from both the University of Namibia and the MEC. VI. Statistics especially in the Ondangwa region, the In a number of schools, survey teams had the opportunity to verify if the annual school census questionnaire had been properly filled. While in most of these schools the form had been completed, it appeared evident information provided was more detailed that some of the Discussing the matter not accurate or unreliable. incomplete, . 49 with teachers, principals and school inspectors revealed that filling the census form was a difficult and time consuming exercise: the information required was quite complex and some of the terms and definitions used were not easy to interpret partly because of language comprehension problems. In addition, the lack of properly kept school records in some cases and poor assistance from school inspectors in other cases did not facilitate the task. It should be noted that in,the Ondangwa region the number of schools per inspector does not allow regular visits to the schools. As a consequence of the above mentioned problems the information collected could not be processed completely and a number of questionnaires had to be returned to the schools to improve accuracy and completeness.
