| dc.description.abstract | This study analyzes the limitation of open competition clause and its implications for the teaching profession as contained in the revised recruitment policy of the Public Service of Namibia. The clause refers to staff within the public service that can only compete for advertised positions one grade higher than their current position | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The study contains a brief examination of the pre- and post-independence teacher recruitment policies of Namibia | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Conceptual perspectives are given and key concepts are defined to provide better conceptualization. The recruitment policies of Botswana and South Africa provide good experiences as both countries have specific legislation regulating the recruitment of teachers, which is not the case with Namibia | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The study confirmed the unilateral implementation of the limitation of open competition clause in the public service, exemplifying a typical top down, non-participatory approach. The other major finding of this study is the broadening of the existing gap between urban and rural schools in the recruitment of teachers especially to School Principal positions in rural schools | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Arguments for the exemption of the teaching profession from the provisions of this clause emerged prominently in the study. The study concludes that the limitation of open competition in recruitment clause does not work effectively in the teaching profession | en_US |
