Namibia: Only One in 14 Grade 6 Pupils Literate, Says Unicef

Only about seven per cent of Grade 6 pupils in Namibia's schools are literate, according to a newly released United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) report on girls' education and development in Namibia. The goal of providing education for all in Namibia has not yet been achieved, the report states. Despite sizeable investment by Government and its partners, Unicef found the quality of Namibian education to be low.
