ABSTRACT
The teachers are prime movers in education delivery. Their attitudes, inclinations, and competencies will, to a large measure, determine the quality and operation of an educational enterprise. Priority should therefore be given to teacher training and the management of the teaching service. The previous ethnic, second-tier administrations have been dismantled and transformed into a national education administration under the two ministries of education, the Ministry of Basic Education and Culture and the Ministry of Higher Education, Vocational Training, Science, and Technology, with the National Institute for Educational Development responsible for program and curriculum development within the whole system. The concept of learner-centered education has a central position in the reform. Many educators from all parts of Namibia became active participants in the production and introduction of new curriculum documents through in-service workshops and seminars addressing different aspects of the reform.
