The Namibia National Students Organisation, NANSO, says there is a misconception about the new education curriculum, such as that it is not well crafted to respond to the needs of learners and the country at large.

The Deputy Executive Director of the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture says the education system is in crisis.

Edda Bohn attributes the current state of affairs in education, including the poor performance of learners in the new curriculum, to the economic recession experienced prior to 2016.
