Title: Conversation Event in Namibia
Location: Namibia
Date: 2009-10-27

Twelve regional education officers took part in a Commonwealth Conversation event in Namibia.

After an hour of discussions they concluded that the Commonwealth is poorly marketed, and needed to do much more to get the public engaged.

They urged the Commonwealth to become more involved in education in a variety of ways. These suggestions included: investing in nomadic education; investing in institutional development in developing countries and making scholarship application forms more accessible to regional offices.

They thought that in the future, the Commonwealth must ensure a more collective involvement of all member states. Namibia, they felt, seems to have been left out of the scheme of things.

    i believe topics of the Commonwealth can be included in the Social Studies syllabus of the Primary and Secondary Schools and a module can be included in the Social Science introductory course as a segment in culture/cultural studies. This was proposed to course developers and was noted.
