It has been over 10 years since the last National Conference on Education in 2011, so this year's conference was highly anticipated. The second National Conference on Education took place from 2 to 5 August 2022 under the theme: Transforming education in the context of global challenges towards inclusion and quality: re-imagining 2023 and beyond.
Members of Parliament, Ministry of Education staff from 14
regions, officials of other ministries (including the Prime Minister and the
Vice-President), university staff, representatives of the private sector, civil
society, learners and development agencies were in attendance.
After the official opening, the attendees broke into smaller groups to discuss various issues affecting education in the country today, review recommendations of the 2011 National Conference and develop a number of programmes that would transform the education system to better cater for the needs of a Namibian child in 2023 and beyond.
Namibia Publishing House took this opportunity to showcase our latest publications and discuss with the teachers the impact the past two years had on the learners and their performance on the NSSCO and NSSCAS examinations.
