Extract

The discussion document titled ‘Heritage into Education, Education into Heritage’ was prepared in 2010 for a Working Group established by the Namibian Institute for Educational Development (NIED) to review the curriculum and to make recommendations about the ways in which Namibia can incorporate `Heritage into Education’ more effectively. Since Namibia’s independence in 1990 there have also been significant developments in the heritage sector with new research into diverse local histories, new recognition of previously neglected heritage sites and greater acknowledgement of indigenous knowledge and cultural diversity. However, there are still considerable opportunities to build and strengthen the bridge between Namibia’s heritage and the education system.
