STADIO Namibia introduces new course for grade 11’s

STADIO Namibia has introduced a new course, which was launched in November 2022. The higher certificate in management extended programme allows students, who have completed their grade 11 with marks that do not allow them to advance to the subsidiary level, to enrol at the higher education institution.The course was mainly introduced as a pre-tertiary experience to build the knowledge foundation of students who want to later enrol in other programmes such as bachelor’s degrees or diplomas with STADIO Namibia or any other institution. Students who have acquired at least 20 points from Grade 11 of the six subjects are eligible to apply for the course.However, G symbols are exempt from the calculation of the required points. The programme will run for 18 months and is offered via distance learning. This creates an opportunity for students from across the country.Warning bells There has been quite a strong reaction to the recent announcement of the National Senior Secondary Certificate Advanced Subsidiary Level (NSSCAS) and the National Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary Level (NSSCO) results, the outcome of which was considerably lower than expected.Namibia is expected to have an increased number of young people who face unemployment.Others will strive to grab opportunities such as short-term employment and educational institutions to improve their grades. The institution has observed that since the pandemic and change in the curriculum, learners have battled bravely to adapt to the new changes.Since the implementation of the new curriculum, there has been an increase in the number of students who choose to stay at home after finishing grade 11.This is because the new system does not allow them to enrol in many higher education institutions based on their minimum requirements. This current situation is an indication that the numbers may keep increasing each year, which can lead to economic woes such as a high rate of unemployment, crime, and despondency.
