integrated into all the school curricula. Namibia has a human resource base with adequate knowledge, skills, and experience to cater for all the needs of the nation. There is access to life-long learning for all Namibians when and where they require it; a high rate of enrolment in Science and Technology courses at all levels; free access to education up to the end of basic education for all learners in that age group; access to Senior Secondary education for all who wish to continue. In terms of relevance, there is a renewed focus on Science and Mathematics at basic and secondary education levels, and on Science and Technology at tertiary level, including the pre-service training of teachers. Education and training outcomes at all levels beyond basic education, relate to employment creation, assuring both the internal as well as the external efficiency of the education system. Outcomes from basic education include reading, writing, numeracy and generic competencies. In order to assure internal efficiency, drop-out rates are at a minimum, and there is a success rate of above 90% at every level of the system. Equity is guaranteed, through the provision of resources for diversified education opportunities; equal provision in all regions and by spending the biggest part of the education dollar at the learning centre level and on the learner. A national quality assurance system is in place at all levels. The existence of a large number of accredited independent and semi-independent learning centres is evident all over the country. Facilities for Vocational Training are adequate and equitably distributed throughout the regions of the country, and all potential candidates have access to vocational education in different professional areas. Higher education of a good quality is accessible to all qualified Namibians, and its available in order to produce highly qualified people in all professions. 3.5.2 Information, Communication and Technology Advanced microelectronics-based Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are used to achieve social and economic transformation in Namibia; the costs of ICTs continue to fall as their capabilities increase, and they are being applied throughout all sectors of the economy and society to serve development goals. There is an integrated programme of developing, implementing and monitoring a national ICT policy, including IT training starting at the pre-primary level. 31
Information & Communication Technology Things to do Develop and implement a comprehensive ICT policy. Integrate ICT education and training in school curricula. Invest in research for development, to promote local ICT industries. Improve access to ICT facilities for all members of the Namibian society. Current Situation Growth and importance of ICTs in social and economic sectors worldwide. Persistent price reductions and improvements in quality and capabilities of ICTs worldwide. Lack of trained and skilled ICT human resources in Namibia. Dependence on imported skills and technical knowledge. Poor level of education in mathematics, sciences and technological skills. Inadequacy of investment in ICTs. Lack of focus on ICT development by government. Where we want to be (2030) Comprehensive national ICT policy fully implemented. IT training from pre-primary through secondary education. A university of Applied Science and Technology’ with adequate support established. Collaboration among science and technology research groups involved in ICT in developed world and Namibia entrenched. Internet access available to and used by most Namibians. Internet access costs reduced and speed improved to high level. Internet-based training facilities reach all Namibians. Wireless networks installed across the country Significant local production of ICT equipment achieved. Incentives and subsidies for computer hardware purchase available. Support for entrepreneurs in ICT available. ICT infrastructure and services advanced. Things to avoid Government does not implement ICT policy Inadequate investment into improving basic education in this area (including mathematics, IT and natural sciences) Insufficient support for students in engineering, ICT and natural and applied sciences No subsidies to reduce computer hardware prices No support for companies providing additional Internet access services to create competition No financial support for local ICT production industries No investment or policy to increase Internet access across Namibia No investment into improving Internet access speed in Namibia Worst-case Scenario No ICT policy, thus leading to stagnation in ICT development. Basic education in mathematics, IT and science stays on current poor levels. Namibians remain essentially illiterate in ICT. Limited access to ICT facilities. Internet access costs remain at current high level or increase. Internet access speed remains at current low level or decreases. ICT/Internet access only available in limited urban areas. No investment in modern wireless communication technology. Dependence on imported foreign equipment, services, knowledge and expertise in ICT. 32
