University of Namibia Advanced Diploma in Educational Management And Leadership
Degree
Advanced Diploma in Education
Introduction
Many schools countrywide experience high failure rates which in most cases could be attributed to ineffective management and leadership styles. It is against this background that the then Ministries of Education in 2000 and the University of Namibia conducted a survey in all regions to investigate the need for a study programme which could address this problem. Besides, the turnover of educational leaders who are promoted to management positions at regional and school levels; the establishment of new schools which require effective school management; and the increase in demand of the advanced knowledge in educational management and leadership, has necessitated the revision of the existing programme from a Specialised Diploma into an Advanced Diploma to make it more responsive to the needs of the clientele.
