The Namibia College of Open Learning (NAMCOL) overall top performer award for 2024 was scooped by Oshana Region's Alfeus Nakanyala.

Nakanyala scored three straight A's in three subjects, which include mathematics. 

The |Khomas Education Director, Paulus Nghikembua, says improved NSSCO and NSSCAS performances are the result of a deliberate strategy, including induction at schools, heads of departments, principals, and teachers.

Hard work pays off for NAMCOL's top performers, as the parastatal awarded 40 top achievers in the Senior Secondary Certificate last year who walked
away with more than N$50,000 in cash prizes.

President Hage Geingob has called for the acceleration of plans to construct additional classrooms as a matter of urgency, in partnership with the August 26 Company.

The COVID-19 pandemic, education disruptions, ill-discipline, and lack of parental involvement all contributed to the poor results obtained by learners who sat for the Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary and Advanced Subsidiary level exams in the ||Kharas Region. 

The Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture says it has highlighted all the factors that contributed to the dismal performance of learners in grades 11 and 12 last year.

The Director of Education in the ||Kharas Region, Johannes ||Hoeseb shared his opinion as the accounting officer on the general performance of learners who sat for the Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary and Advanced Subsidiary level examinations.

The education system is plagued by a lot of problems that make it impossible for teachers to deliver.

This was said by National African Students Association President Paulus Vihemba.

The Chairman of the Council of Traditional Leaders of Namibia, Gaob Immanuel |Gâseb, has advised against politicizing the high learner failure rate of the 2022 examinations.

Public policy analysts Ndumba Kamwanyah and Dr. Marius Kudumo say that the just released Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary and Advanced Subsidiary Level results are a reflection of the state of the education system in the country.
