Abstract	This document is the result of a consulting program that sought to identify ways in which institutions and individuals in the United States could be of greatest assistance to the education system of the new nation of Namibia, with particular attention to higher education. The report outlines the educational legacy of Namibia's colonial history, summarizes the most up-to-date information on the Namibian government's educational plans, projects, and priorities, and finally highlights areas where Namibian and other observers believe that the United States could offer expertise in support of Namibia's educational development. Divided into two parts, the first part discusses Namibian education including formal education in Namibia before independence and access, equality, quality, democracy, and policies and programs for education and training in independent Namibia. This section addresses matters such as language policy, basic education, secondary education, both preservice and inservice teacher training, higher education, the University of Namibia, the Polytechnic, adult and nonformal education, distance education college, and vocational and technical training. Part two suggests areas in which institutions and individuals in the United States can help, including school desegregation, curriculum development, teacher training, higher education, advanced information technologies, and others. Annexes include programs befitting refugees, current statistics on basic education, international assistance, representative current U.S. educational programs in Namibia, and a survey of Namibian Alumni of U.S. institutions. A list of 6 primary and 6 secondary contacts for interested individuals or groups is included. Contains 38 references. (DK)
