RESOURCE CENTRE SUPPORT

TRC's are funded and supported by the Ministry of Basic Education Sport and Culture. However the current system has also seen considerable assistance from donor funds e.g.

    • The LearnLink, a USAID funded project provided computers to the TRC labs in the North and North-East, they also developed the www.edsnet.na website.  This website is maintained and are regularly updated by the NIED webmaster.

    • The INET is tasked with professional development for Teacher Educators.

    • INET supports Educational Professionals through assisting to avail local materials on www.edsnet.na and published this website on CO-ROM.

    • INET also renders support to computer labs and TRC's. Which is a progression of what Learn Link started to put in place.

    • INET also works on Educational Management and Information Systems (EMIS) at all the regional education offices in general and colleges of education in particular.

    • INET assisted the NIED webmaster in converting hard data into electronic form e.g. Namibian Education Resources CD-ROM, comprising of Syllabi. Teacher's guides, Subject policies, and other materials.

    • It is ear marked that refurbished computers are in the pipeline to different schools at the request of the schools concerned.

    • The NETA

    • NETA on one hand is also involved with equipping new technology to Namibian schools, but in terms of curriculum development in subjects like English. Math and Science. The project works in close consultation with LearnThings (UK) and Learn on line (SA).

    • NETA is trying to build in an Online based curriculum in the three subject areas of English, Science and Math.

    • NETA is offering training to schoolteachers. The first step is making our teachers computer literate before they can start using computer-generated programmes in their classrooms.

    • SCHOOL-NET is a USAID non-profit provider of Internet service, hardware and training to the Namibian schools.

    • XNET is used by NIED as their Internet Service Provider (ISP).

    • SCHOOL-NET provides Internet and computers to schools on demand or at the request of the schools concerned.

All these institutions render considerable assistance in our effort to empower our teachers and improve and sustain the limited resources the Namibian Education system is blessed to possess.
