A TOTAL of 5 812 learners who sat for their 2022 national examination for NSSCO have qualified for higher learning institutions in Namibia, having obtained 25 points and above.
Minister of Education Anna Nghipondoka said a total of 38 019 full–time candidates were registered for 2022 National Senior Secondary Ordinary level examinations at 363 full-time centres.
She said this number shows a significant drop of 8 958 candidates compared to the total full-time candidates at the same level in 2021.
Nghipondoka pointed out that NSSCAS full-time and part-time candidates might qualify to enroll at institutions of higher learning based on the combination of their NSSCAS and NSSCO results.
“NSSCO part-time candidates might have accumulated improved grades over the past few years to qualify for various courses at different Institutions of Higher Learning,” she said.
She added that some NSSCO candidates might also qualify for admission at Institutions of higher learning that require less than 25 points for admission.
