Tiivistelmä
The subscriber for my thesis was the Namibian Ministry of Youth, National, Services, Sport and Cultures, Directorate of Arts. The aim for this thesis was to research the current state of arts education in Namibia and find alternatives to develop it. The importance of arts education has been recognised as a necessity in schools and is a constant international topic. This thesis provides an overview on the Namibian education system, with arts education as the main focus.
The theoretical bases for this are based on research methods both qualitative and quantitative that were used to gather valid information to thesis. These include observation, semi-structured interviews and the analysis of the questionnaire Interest of Arts in Schools. This research idea started nearly three years ago, then with a simple goal to observe the status of arts in schools. Furthermore, between August 2013 and May 2014 research and the writing of this thesis took place.
Solution for developing arts educations in Namibia were created based on the questionnaire analysis, as well as theoretical context of the research. These solutions include the 2030 vision for Namibia’s arts education.
