[Namibian College of Open Learning] NAMCOL has identified [vocational education and training] VET as a critical part of their education policy agenda, yet in Namibia this issue has remained peripheral to the efforts to reform education and training systems. This paper presents available evidence on the extent and patterns of lifelong learning in VET and the introduction of new approaches. It argues that the introduction of foundational skills, elementary VET programmes and new qualifications is important not only to meet the new skills demands but also to address a rapidly growing skills gap created by a slowly responding VET system.
