The Marketing and Corporate Communication Manager at the Namibian Qualification Authority (NQA), Lina Ndengu, urged learners to be vigilant and make sure that institutions and courses are accredited before enrolling. 

Ndengu says accreditation is a crucial process, as it provides assurance to both learners and employers that the qualifications they hold or consider accepting are of a high standard and align with national quality assurance requirements. 

The number of school-leavers who qualify for admission at institutions of higher learning has increased by 3.2%.

The Minister of Education, Arts, and Culture, Anna Nghipondoka, announced the Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary (NSSCO) and Advanced Subsidiary Levels (NSSCAS) results this morning.

The 3.2% is a notable improvement after the poor 2022 results.

At the NSSCO full-time level, 29.4%, comprising 11,970 candidates, have secured 25 points or above in five subjects, resulting in a 14.1% improvement from 2022.
