  • Experiences of Stakeholders on the School Counselling Services in Ohangwena Region of Namibia
    European Journal of Educational Sciences, EJES March 2019 edition Vol.6 No.1 ISSN 1857- 6036 Experiences of Stakeholders on the School Counselling Services in Ohangwena Region of Namibia Anna Niitembu Hako Department of Educational Psychology & Inclusive Education, University Namibia Olaniyi Bojuwoye Department of Educational Psychology, University of the Western Cape, South Africa Doi: 10.19044/ejes.v6no1a1 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/ejes.v6no1a1 Abstract This is an interpretive account of principals, teacher-counsellors, parents and learners’ experiences and perceptions on school counselling services in Ohangwena region of Namibia. The study focused on what the stakeholders consider to be the characteristics of the Namibian school counselling programme. The study used a qualitative research approach to collect data. The sample consisted of fifteen learners, twelve teacher- counsellors, three parents and five school principals who were purposively selected. Interviews (in-depth semi-structured) and focus group discussions were used to gather data. The results revealed that participants consider counselling, academic development, career planning, education and/ or information dissemination, consultation and referral as the major services that characterize the Namibian School Counselling Programme. While the study highlighted the strengths of the Namibian School Counselling Programme, recommendations are also made regarding areas of the programme which can be improved. Keywords: School-counselling services, School guidance, Stakeholders, Perceptions, Learners, Parents, Teacher-counsellors. Background and context Three fields, namely: vocational guidance, the testing movement and the mental health movement have influenced the school guidance movement. The gradual integration of these areas has resulted in the school counselling profession, as it is known today (Stone & Bradley, 1994).

The afore-stated value statements drive my singular feels of honor and pleasure to be here in the Ohangwena Region for this important occasion, which marks the official inauguration of the Okongo NaTIS Office. The opening of this milestone achievement is undoubtedly another identity value proposition for the Okongo and its surroundings residents from the broader collective national identity. It must be underscored that every nation, organization or an individual has a vision. A vision to assist in reaching set targets, a vision to map out guidelines, a vision to serve as institutional memories for generations to come. Therefore the Namibian collective vision is spearheaded by our President, H.E Dr. Hage G Geingob. That vision is a vision of inclusivity for all, a vision that states that no one should feel left out.

  • Adaptation of Farmers to Climate Change in Ohangwena Region, Namibia
    Adaptation of Farmers to Climate Change in Ohangwena Region, Namibia Submitted by Raili Laudika Hasheela Supervisor: Professor André Pelser UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE Adaptation of Farmers to Climate Change in Ohangwena Region, Namibia Raili Laudika Hasheela Dissertation Submitted in Accordance with the Requirements for the Degree MASTERS DEGREE IN DEVELOPMENT STUDIES in the faculty of ECONOMIC AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCES CENTRE FOR DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT at the UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE November 2010 Supervisor: Professor André Pelser i ABSTRACT This study aimed to establish an understanding of the local adaptation and coping mechanisms in relation to flood impacts on agriculture in the Ohangwena Region. This was necessitated by the fact that the region experienced heavy floods between 2008 and 2009, which are attributed to climate variability and change in Namibia. Nevertheless, since the region also experiences drought as a result of climate variability, the study has lightly touched on them, however, it mainly paid particular attention to the floods. In general, climate in Namibia is variable, with increasing variability in temperature and rainfall patterns. As a result, rural communities in northern Namibia have become vulnerable to climate variability. The latter mainly depend on agriculture for subsistence, the source of food security which is vulnerable to the climatic events of floods and droughts. One of the major factors that have contributed to communities‟ vulnerability to floods is the fact that many farmers have settled in flood prone areas. With the realization that rural communities are vulnerable to the two climatic events, it was deemed necessary to identify the coping strategies currently in place in order to strengthen them.
