  • Education Equity and Quality in Namibia: a Case Study of Mobile Schools in the Kunene Region
    EDUCATION EQUITY AND QUALITY IN NAMIBIA: A CASE STUDY OF MOBILE SCHOOLS IN THE KUNENE REGION by Onesmus Hailombe A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education Policy in the Department of Education Management and Policy Studies Faculty of Education University of Pretoria Supervisor: Prof. Jan Nieuwenhuis November 2011 © University of Pretoria ABSTRACT The main thesis of this study is that access to education, important as it is in terms of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), is not enough. Education that is not of an acceptable quality may not serve the purpose or the intent of the MDGs, nor of the Education for All movement. The study aims to examine the Namibian education policies related to education equity and quality for nomadic pastoralist people living in the Kunene region where socio-economic and cultural factors mitigate the provision of education. The study takes a broad view in an effort to explore the phenomenon of education provision to nomadic people and its actual outcomes beyond the classroom perspective and beyond the limits of its expected results. The data were collected over a period of five weeks. In this regard, a qualitative research design with critically quasi-ethnographic elements using semi-structured interviews to gather data from participants was used. Purposive sampling was used to select mobile school units, educators, nomadic leaders and community members. Data were collected through document analysis, audio-taped interviews and transcribed for inductive analysis. The intent of this case study is to illuminate attempts, through various education policies and strategies used by the Namibian government, to address equity and quality in education to marginalised and nomadic pastoralist groups, and reflect the insufficiency of such efforts that are not compatible with the intended groups‟ culture and lifestyle.
