The Human Resource Problem

At Primary Level only 55% of the teachers are qualify to teach Mathematics

The average for the grade 10 level Mathematics in the National Examination last year was 38%

Of the mathematics students who graduate in Gr.12 only 3.3% are on the higher level

The Physical Resource Problem

There are only place in Senior Secondary Schools for about 50% of the learners to complete their Basic Education

Many of the schools in the rural areas do not have water, electricity or a telephone, which limits their access to modern forms of communication

You still find Teachers teaching under a tree in Namibia owing to lack of classrooms
