NAMCOL

In November 1994, NAMCOL was initially established as a directorate within the then Ministry of Basic Education and Culture (MBEC). This transition period was completed on 1st April 1998, when the newly-established institution took over responsibility for all continuing education programmes formerly administered by the MBEC. NAMCOL is an autonomous institution, directed by a Board of Governors appointed by the Minister of Education Arts and Culture . At the helm of the management is a Director, assisted by four Deputy Directors, four Regional Managers and Middle Management. NAMCOL employs the services of 115 full- time staff members and more than 1 500 part-time staff members country wide. Since its inception, the College has accommodated thousands of learners through its Secondary Education and Tertiary Level Programmes. NAMCOL Head Office is situated along Independence Avenue, in the Katutura suburb of Windhoek. The NAMCOL complex was formally inaugurated by the then Minister of Basic Education, Sport and Culture (MBESC) on 29 October 1998, Honourable John Mutorwa. The College’s services are extended throughout the whole of Namibia via the four Regional and Sub-Regional Offices in Ongwediva, Rundu, Otjiwarongo, Windhoek, Gobabis, Keetmanshoop, Walvis Bay, Opuwo and Katima Mulilo.
