With the change in the Namibian curriculum for schools, many learners are uncertain as to which universities will accept applications with a grade 11 certificate.
My Zone spoke to higher learning institutions in Namibia to gain some perspective on the future of grade 11 learners and tertiary education.
Gerry Wilson Munyama, the director of marketing, communication and stakeholder engagement at the International University of Management (IUM), says although IUM is a private university, it does not operate in a vacuum.
“It is guided by Namibian laws and policy directives in delivering its mission of equipping its students with the much-needed productive skills required to transform not only Namibia and the continent but the global village as well. That is our mission. Therefore, IUM shall toe the line and will not discriminate against any NSSC graduate application on the basis of grade 11 or grade 12. To us, they are cooked in the same pot,” Munyama said.
