Moreover, it revealed that workers skills and education were not adequate for the job market Namibia is, thus, reviewing the current National Qualifications Framework to make sure that when students graduate, they attain valuable skills that meet the standards and further fill the needed occupations in the labour market Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Permanent Secretary of Education, Alfred Ilukena, indicated that reviewing the framework would also eliminate bogus institutions that sell certificates, diplomas, degrees and other qualifications.
