Overview of Education in the Region

Directorate of Education is responsible for the provision, maintenance and assurance of th equality of education for the following phases; pre-primary, primary and secondary as well as Adult Education/Lifelong Learning activities, including the provision of public/community libraries. Activities that should be closely monitored are Education for all (EFA) the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and Vision 2030.

As members of the African Union (AU) and Southern African Development Community (SADC) we have to implement activities as set out in policy documents like; the Second Decade of Education in Africa and the SADC protocol on Education and Training. To meet the goals set out in these programmes, we still need to address the following areas of concern:

  • Improve performance in results of our schools
  • Increase accountability in schools for results
  • Strengthening support structures to deliver effective educational services
  • Improve infrastructural development to absorb increasing demand on educational facilities in the region
  • Provide additional teaching and learning materials
  • Provision of textbooks, desks and chairs for learners

Directorate of Education's hope is that with the total implementation of the Education and Training Sector Improvement Program (ETSIP) some of these challenges will be addressed effectively and efficiently.
