The Executive Director at the Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture says school-based action plans, improvement strategies, and dedicated efforts have paid off.

Sanet Steenkamp also reaffirmed the ministry's unconditional support for infrastructure development and professional assistance for the capacity development of teachers.

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.
