Namibia: Minister Stresses Importance of English
Deputy Minister of Education Dr Becky Ndjoze-Ojo says the importance of the English language locally, nationally and internationally cannot be overemphasized. She was the keynote speaker at a two-day conference of the English Teachers’ Association (NETA) at the Polytechnic of Namibia on Friday.
“There are Namibian languages that must be developed and used as media of instruction in schools. As a result, a bilingual education system is advocated whereby every learner is expected to do first the mother tongue, plus the official language (English),” Ndjoze-Ojo said.
