The possibility of Africanization of the curriculum in Namibia in the light of the African experience

It is widely accepted that in order for education to serve the
people effectively, the school curriculum should be localised.
In Namibia a high rate of failure, unemployment and a low
standard of life, especially among the black section of the
population, is attributed to the foreign education which the
people receive.
This study attempts to shed some light on the nature of school
curriculum. From a comparative study of attempts of
Africanisation of the school curriculum in three African
countries, some universal strategies can be distilled.
A short survey is given of the school curriculum in Namibia and
the history of its development.
Finally, on the basis of the distilled strategies, some
guidelines are drawn concerning Africanisation of the school
curriculum in Namibia. These guidelines could be used to make
the school curriculum in Namibia more relevant / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Comparative Education)
