Members of Parliament in the National Council urged the government to prioritise training for teachers and other stakeholders in the education sector to effectively navigate the revised curriculum.

They were contributing to the report of the Standing Committee on Education on the high failure rate of learners for the Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary and the Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Advance Subsidiary levels in 2022.

Swapo Party MP Olivia Hanghuwo tabled a report in the National Council on the high failure rate of learners allegedly because of the revised curriculum. 

The report stems from an oversight visit to the Parliament of Finland to investigate the possible causes of the high failure rate of learners over the past two years.
