Training
Before independence in 1990, Namibia had a segregated school system with high standards in schools for whites, an intermediate standard for so-called colored and substandard schools and education for the black majority. Afrikaans was then the language of instruction for everyone. Resources are still unevenly distributed due to the inheritance of the South African government, but for many years the new free state has invested tremendously in reforming the school system and increasing literacy among both children and adults. The education system is 6.4% of GDP (2008). In 2009, 89% of the adult population (over 15 years) was estimated to be literate.
