Thesis (MEd) -- Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: One of the major features of educational transformation in Namibia revolves around
the democratisation of education. However, despite various endeavours by the
government to transform the education system in an effort to provide quality
education, there remain many challenges to the delivery of urgently needed quality
education. This thesis seeks to explore how democratic education can possibly
contribute towards eliminating identified challenges. My contention is that the
promulgation of the education policy document "Toward Education for All" of 1993
was meant to bring about changes in the Namibian education system. However, the
promulgation of this policy does not imply the effective implementation thereof. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Een van die belangrikste kenmerke van onderwystransformasie in Namibie is die
demokratisering van die onderwys. Ten spyte van verskeie pogings deur die regering
om die onderwysstelsel te transformeer in 'n poging om gehalteonderwys te verseker,
is daar steeds baie uitdagings met betrekking tot die lewering van dringend nodige
gehalteonderwys. Hierdie tesis ondersoek hoe demokratiese onderwys moontlik
daartoe kan bydra om die uitdagings soos gerdentifiseer die hoof te bied. Die skrywer
is daarvan oortuig dat daar met die bekendmaking van die onderwysbeleidsdokument,
Toward Education for All (1993), bedoel word om veranderinge in die Namibiese
onderwysstelsel teweeg te bring. Die openbaarmaking van hierdie beleid impliseer
egter nie die effektiewe implementering daarvan nie.
