Leierskapontwikkeling van vroue vir die onderwys in Namibië

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since Namibia obtained independence during 1990, segregation has been abolished and anew constitution was accepted which prohibited discrimination, including genderdiscrimination. Several policies and legislation have been authorized to ensure the equalparticipation of women at all levels of the society, but even so, while the majority of teachersin basic education are women, men still predominate in school management and at higherlevelsof decision making in education.I investigate the obstacles which women experience to advance to leadership positions ineducation and how women who are in leadership positions, have overcome these obstacles. Ifurther investigate what the paradigm shift in the leadership approach in education involvesand what the implication for women in education may be. A further aspect which receivesattention is the roll of professional and self-development in the empowerment of women forleadership positions in Namibianeducation.Through this investigation it has lead to the conclusion that, for women to take up their fulland equal position in society and also in the education profession, a total change in attitudeof every member of society is needed. If schools want to adhere to the expectations toestablish the values of democracy in the society of Namibia, then teaching and learning inschoolsshould become more critical, democratic and reflective.
