ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The authors of this report wish to thank the Minister of Education and
Culture, the Hon. Nahas Angula, for making the resources of his Ministry
available for the completion of this survey. The survey team also wishes to
thank the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Vitalis Ankama, for his encouragement
and timely assistance.
In operational terms, the survey would not have been possible without the
organizational ability, interest and participation in the work of Dr. Robert
C. West, Chief: Education (Secondary Division), MEC. Special mention
should be made of the help the team received from the Planning Section of
the MEC. This section facilitated the data entry on computer and its
subsequent analysis, often working late at night and on weekends to
complete the tasks.
Special mention should also be made of the administrative assistance
provided by the UNDP and Unesco Offices in Namibia. In particular,
thanks should be extended to Dr. Mam Biram Joof, Unesco Education
Adviser, for his direct participation in the work of the survey and to his
secretary, Mrs. Leonia Nkuruh, who typed and corrected the many drafts of
this report.

Prior to the independence

offered
by the various

of the

Many of these training
courses
were based on problems observed by advisers

visits
to schools,
on needs expressed
by teachers

informal
discussions,
or on needs identified
by participants

CHAPTER THREE
THE RESEARCH METHOD
I.
Choosina
an annroach
The choice of an overall
method for this research
was implicit
in the formulation
of the project
which supported
it. The first
statements
of the
Working Group on Teacher In-Service
Training
also implied
the method to be used.
Both in the UNDP/Unesco
Project
and in the Five Year Development
Plan for
Teacher
Improvement
the term 19surveytt was used.
Nevertheless,
other approaches could have been considered
as ways
to provide
useful
information
about the professional
needs of
serving
teachers.
In-depth
case studies
of one or more primary
and secondary schools no doubt would have yielded
clues based on
interviews
and on observations
of teacher behaviour,
as to what
these needs were. Other naturalistic
or ethnographic
methods
might also have been employed.
In fact,
case studies
and action
research
were ruled
out for
this
study
since
the problems
teachers
were facing
in the classroom
were already
fairly
well
known in general
terms.
The precise
configuration
of these
views as to how they wished
problems was not; nor were teachers'
to solve the problems known.
There were two essential
choices remaining:
either
a specialized
census of the entire
population
of teachers
or a sample survey.
A census would not have been possible
given the constraints
on
time and technical
and material
resources
available.
A survey of
a sample of serving
teachers
was the only practical
alternative.

This procedure,
usually
referred
to as stratified
sampling,
was applied to select sub-samples
of teachers
according
to the following
criteria:
the types
of schools
(primary,
combined14,
or
secondary)
where
they

the
geographical
location
of these schools according
to the present

(regions);
the gender of the teacher.

factors,
such as teachers'
qualifications
could

in designing
the sample; however, the lack
of sufficiently
detailed
and up-to-date
information
relating
to
these factors
as well as the limited
time available
necessitated
limiting
the stratification
to the above mentioned sub-samples.
III.
The size
of the
sample
Comparisons
between various
subgroups
in a stratified
sample
require
that
a minimum number of cases be included
in the
smallest
subgroup.
The total
sample has to be large enough so
that a meaningful
number of cases in the smallest
subgroup may
be obtained".
In designing
the sample and determining

as well
as the already
mentioned
limitations

and time constraints

taken into account.
The following
tables show the latest
available
data on the number
of schools
by region
and type of school
(Table I) and on the
number of teachers
by region,
type of school and sex (Tables II
and III).
These data were collected
in January,
1991, only ten
days from the beginning
of the academic year, in order to provide
preliminary
summary statistics
to the various
departments
in the
Ministry
of Education
& Culture.
In particular,
these statistics
are used by the Personnel
Division
in the Ministry
to assess the
needs for appointing
additional
teachers
at the beginning
of the
school year. They tend to underestimate,
therefore,
the number
of teachers

schools later
in the
year.

After the sample size and number ofteachersto

in each
stratumofthe
samplehad beendetermined,
the number of schools to
be visited
in order to survey the teachers
was determined.
This
number was established
on the assumption
that an average of three
teachers
could be surveyed at each school.
This gives a total
of

A brain-storming
session was held with most of the members of the
INSET Working
Group with
the purpose
of better
defining
the
objectives
of the
survey,
stating
specifically
the
type
of
information
needed and deciding
on the instrument
to be used to
collect
this
information.
As a result
of this
meeting,
a first
draft
of the questionnaire
was prepared with the idea that it would
serve as an interview
guide,
although
rather
structured.
At that
meeting,
the overall
approach to the survey and the techniques
and
resources
which might be used were also discussed.
Specifically,
the following
essential
elements were isolated
and refined:
Languages to be used

sample
The last
issue,
the means of collecting
the desired
information,
generated
the most discussion
in subsequent meetings of the survey
team.
Broadly
defined,
**the training
needs of serving
teachers**
could
be interpreted
not only
in terms
of what the teachers
themselves
wanted, but whether or not they were effective
classroom
teachers.
Thus, while everyone agreed on the need to ask teachers
for their
opinions,
it was decided not to undertake
observations
of
actual
lesson presentations,
in consideration
of the very tight
time schedule
planned for the field
work.
Other more technical
meetings,
one on 25 of September,
another on
the 30th, were held to refine
the questionnaire
by rearranging
the
order of some items, rewording
some others,
including
neu questions
and dropping
others
that
appeared
not
necessary
or
were
overlapping.
Finally,
the questionnaire

In this

was limited
to those few who could be contacted
be available
in Windhoek.
In spite
of its limitations,
the pretesting
proved to be very useful
in suggesting
further
and final
changes to the questionnaire
aiming mainly at reducing
its size and
improving
clarity.
In addition,
the pre-testing
exercise
showed two main problems
related
to the use of face-to-face
interviews
: the time needed for
administering
the questionnaire
and the language of communication.
The time needed to complete
one interview
was at least
one hour.
Therefore,
interviewing
three or four teachers
in a school would
have taken three to four hours, making it very difficult
to visit
a second school,
often quite distant,
in the same day as planned.
As regards
the language problem it was clear that English
was not
sufficiently
understood
by all
teachers
and that
on-the-spot
translation
would have further
prolonged
the time needed for the
interview.
21
In order to cope with the above problems it was decided to adopt a
different
procedure
to administer
the questionnaire.
Instead
of
interviewing
each teacher
separately,
the selected
sample of
teachers
in each school would be asked to fill
in the questionnaire
simultaneously
under the guidance of a member of the survey team.
As concerned the language problem,
the teacher would be given the
possibility
of using
a language
more familiar
than English
to
understand
the questions
and properly
fill
in the answers.
For
this purpose the questionnaire
was translated
and printed
in two
other languages:
Oshiwambo, used mainly in the Ondangwa region,
and
Afrikaans
which is widely
used in the rest of the country.
This
procedure
proved to be very satisfactory
as it reduced the time for
the interviews
to about two hours for each school while at the same
time allowing
for interviewing
a larger
number of teachers
than
initially
foreseen.

due to some
lack of organization
in terms of timely provision

The field
work
Interviews
with teachers,
the field
work, began in the middle of
October.
Four teams started
the work on different
days depending
on where they were going.
A fifth
team visited
schools
in the
Windhoek Region in the second week of the work.

completed
their

The survey teams were allowed a certain
flexibility
on the number
and gender of teachers
to be selected
at each school in order to
cope with possible
discrepancies
between the planned
interviews
(last two columns of Table 1. of the Annex) and the situation

As regards Table VIII we can note that only for Ondangwa region are
the differences
significant.
This is due mainly to the fact that
the available
census information
for that region
represents
only
86.5% of the schools.
Once the data for Ondangwa becomes more
complete the percentage
of teachers
for that region will
increase
while the same percentage
for the other regions
(whose data are
already
almost complete)
will
necessarily
decrease,
thus levelling
off the present
discrepancies.
As regards Table IX we note that the percentage
of female teachers
is higher
in the census than in the survey for most regions.
We
note however that this percentage
is also systematically
higher in
the census as compared with the 10th day statistics
(see Table III
in Chapter Three).
As the sample was based on the latter
data this
explains
the reason for most of the differences
observed.
Only in
the case of Khorixas
and Rundu can these differences
be attributed
to other reasons as already
explained
in Chapter Three.

Vital
characteristics
of teachers
statistics
The age of teachers
is given in Tables 7 and 8.
It will
be seen
that 78% of the teaching
force is under the age of 40 (81% and 73%
for females and males respectively).
This is the group for whom
in-service
training
during the next five years will give returns
of
improved teaching
competence over a period of ten years or longer.
Information
on the marital
status of teachers
and on the number of
dependents
is given in Tables 9 and 10. Sixty-four
per cent of all
teachers
are married
and 47% of all teachers
have more than three
dependants.
Family commitments are likely
to have an effect
on the
amount of time which a teacher
can spare for in-service
training,
as well as influencing
availability
for residential
courses away
from the home town or village.
The analysis
of the home language of teachers
is given in Tables
11, 12, and 13, from which it will
be seen that 42% of teachers
have Oshiwambo as home language and 20% have Afrikaans.
Only two
teachers
in the sample have English as home language.
However, 175
out of 418 teachers
(42%) claim to have a good command of English,
while 53% claim that their
English
is fair.
Only 5% claim to be
poor in English
or to have no command of the language at all (Table
14).
It must, however, be noted that these statistics
reflect
the
respondents'
own evaluation
of their
language competence.
This
information
should be compared with teachers'
evaluation
of their
need for
further
training
in English,
and with
principals'
evaluation
of the needs of their
staff
for training
in English
(Tables
65, 97); and also with the indication
in Table 41 that
about
50% of all
teaching

place

Thirty-six
per cent of teachers

B.
Teachers'
aualifications
The qualifications
of respondents
are reflected
in Tables 16 to 25.
It can be seen that 49% of teachers
have an academic qualification
lower than Standard
10 (Table
16) and 36% of teachers
have no
professional
qualification
at all (Table 17)22.

CHAPTER FIVE
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
I.

Priorities
It is apparent
that teachers
would welcome an intensified
inservice
training
programme based on their
estimates
of past
training
which were mostly favourable.
Moreover,
given that 64%
of all
serving
teachers
in Namibia
have received
on-the-job
training
it is only reasonable
to suggest
that an in-service
training
programme begin with those with no training,
since it
is apparent
that priorities
will
have to be set.
To be perceived
to be of some use to teachers,
in-service
training
must continue
to provide the benefits

important
in past programmes.

is likely
to be important.
Future
in-service

skills
with up-grading
of formal qualifications.
Care would have to be taken to ensure that the non-formal
nature
of in-service
training
does not dilute
the high standard

have come to expect
of their

which may have been

in part from the essential

of the traditional

disciplines.
It also means providing

By focusing
teaching
on changing pupil behaviour,
learning
at school becomes

this learning

Thus it becomes apparent that the

The survey has shown that most teachers
are ready to adapt their
teaching
to the demands of higher
pupil
achievement.
They are
ready to change the way they practise

in the
classroom.
However, they may not yet have become conscious
of

philosophy

nor
of how to put such a philosophy

Thus an important
part of any in-service

be to demonstrate
how this can be done.

Report.
A report
of a one-day workshop held on January 27, 1989
aimed at an audience which may have influenced
the type and
nature of U.S. resources
brought
to bear in an independent
Namibia.
There were 75 participants
representing
foundations,
nongovernmental
organizations,
universities.
U.N. Agencies and institutes,
U.S. Government agencies
and
Namibian organizations.
The purpose of the event was to
provide
participants
with a clear picture
of the educational
terrain
in Namibia,
and with knowledge of existing
resources
which they may use to build
their
understanding
of the
country.
The workshop dealt with the pre-Independence
political
context
of education,
with problems affecting
students
overseas,
with the transition
to education
in
independent
Namibia and with ways to build
an effective
education
system in which everyone.including
churches,
unions
and students
groups would participate.
