M.Ed. / Namibia with its new education system, is confronted like other multicultural countries, by a multicultural education dilemma. For the maintenance of effective education in Namibia, the exigencies of reality, of which multiculturalism is one, should be accommodated in the education system. There are obviously various views of multicultural education. This study attempts on the basis of derived criteria from these various views, to ascertain whether the education system of Namibia satisfies the requirement of multicultural sensitivity. The multicultural education dilemma is presented initial!y, followed by an investigation of the theoretic basis of various society models. Chapter 3 presents a short exposition of the education system before and after the independence of the country. In chapter 4 the new education system is investigated on the basis of the derived criteria and it is concluded that the education system does not meet the requirement of multicultural sensitivity. The final chapter suggests for the sake of curriculum relevance and for improving education practice, broad recommendations in respect of a multicultural sensitive curriculum.
