dc.description.abstractLike many other post-independent African countries, Namibia went through many changes after independence, politically, socially and educationally to determine its own destiny. The Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC)(1993) articulated the four major goals of education as access, equity, quality and democracy. MEC ( 1993, 74) noted, "As we make transition from educating the elite to education for all we also make a shift from teacher centred to constructivism." For the Ministry to achieve these goals, several strategic initiatives were launched. Amongst others, a new Senior Secondary School Programme leading to the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and its variant the Higher International General Certificate of Secondary Education (HIGCSE) were introduced in 1994 to replace the South African Cape Education System. The new programmes (HIGCSE and IGCSE) were launched to prepare students for entry to the University of Namibia and other tertiary institutions (MEC, 1993).en_US
