In part 3 of his collection of speeches, Prof. David Namwandi underpins the vital role that education plays in a young nation such as Namibia. He does so in his usual honest and unique style, glorifying the successes while pointing out areas where all stakeholders, both international and national, should work together to strengthen education in the country. A number of speeches focus on UNESCO as a development partner in education in Namibia. The 3 part series of "The Crux of the education matter " is a useful source of information that will go a long way in helping the reader to unpack education matters in Namibia.
