Namibia is a young country which gained its independence in 1991. Before that date the educational system was based on an Apartheid regime imposing discriminative access to education among the population. After Reconciliation, Namibia had the hard task to create a new education system for all valorizing the former underprivileged children. The Ministry of Education fast considered the learner centered approach as a good alternative to reach schools new objectives. Nevertheless, this pedagogy is still encountering difficulties to be fully operational in Namibian classrooms. The Namibian Portfol

Abstract:

The University of Namibia students today are very diverse. This is largely due to differing cultures, learning styles and levels of emotional and social maturity. Acknowledging this diversity will help avoid the “common sense” based predisposition of higher education teachers to treat every student the same. Diagnosing student needs and crafting learning experiences in response to revealed diagnoses is therefore imperative. In this study, second year Biometrics students were profiled with a focus on the social, economic, political and psychological aspects of their lives. Data from Sixty five

The objective of this study was to compare the survival rates of Moringa oleifera and Moringa ovalifolia grown at the Neudamm Experimental Farm of the University of Namibia in the Central Namibia rangeland. This part of Namibia being arid and semi-arid, the growing of drought resistant fodder trees to aid in the provision of animal fodder or supplement is essential and paramount to livestock farmers. Many trees including Moringa species go into dormancy during winter season. After winter, survived plants sprout while others die off permanently due to severe winter cold.

The literature on studies of attitudes toward rape shows that there is an overall negative attitude towards rape victims leading to discrimination, stigma and, consequently, under-reporting of rape.

AbstractThe paper aims at exploring determinants of the university students' intentions to stay within their university region. At this, we presume that students' career choice motivations are related to their professional intentions, which again, along with demographic characteristics, affect their migration decision. Our analysis is based on a cross-sectional study of 2,353 students from three different higher education institutions, two of them located in Germany and one in Namibia. Results indicate that in Germany migration matters because a considerable proportion of students intend to le

Tree canopy cover and forest structure are essential for preserving biodiversity, as they provide critical habitats and resources for countless species. Additionally, they play a vital role in regulating climate by sequestering carbon, moderating temperatures, and enhancing soil health, contributing to ecosystem resilience. A study was conducted at University of Namibia (UNAM) Ogongo campus at selected sites to determine the tree canopy and forest structure.
