Abstract

This study investigates the educational experiences of twelve jailed students in prison in Namibia, with a specific emphasis on identifying the factors necessary for their academic achievement. The study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the jailed students' perspectives on the impact of education, utilizing audio-recorded interviews. The interviews were meticulously transcribed verbatim by an English-speaking transcriber to ensure the utmost accuracy and thoroughness in documenting the participants' narratives. The author employed an interpretive paradigm to analyze and delve into the subjective meanings and experiences of the pupils. This methodology enabled a comprehensive understanding of the influence of educational programs on the lives of jailed inmates, potentially aiding in their rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society. The findings offer unique insights into the significant influence that education may have in correctional settings, revealing the challenges and accomplishments encountered by incarcerated students. This study contributes to the broader discourse on education in prisons by focusing on the real-life experiences of prisoners. It highlights the need to provide jailed individuals educational opportunities to facilitate their personal and professional development. This study emphasizes the significance of tailored educational interventions in prisons to foster advantageous outcomes for incarcerated persons and society.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges faced by incarcerated students in their interactions with study supervisors within prison education programs in Namibia. Using a qualitative design and an interpretive paradigm, semi-structured interviews with 12 male participants were analyzed thematically to uncover key barriers in the student-supervisor dynamic. Findings highlight systemic issues, including limited technological access, communication barriers, and insufficient supervisory support, which hinder effective learning and engagement. Participants emphasized the psychological impact of delayed feedback, restricted access to study materials, and a lack of supervisor understanding of educational needs. These insights underscore the need for enhanced training for supervisors, improved communication infrastructure, and equitable access to digital resources to create supportive learning environments in correctional facilities. By addressing these barriers, the study contributes to improving educational outcomes and supports broader rehabilitative efforts for incarcerated learners.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide schools with the necessary knowledge and skills to manage sustained crises in schools. The role of heads of department (HODs) in administering schools during times of crisis is covered in this article. The Covid-19 crisis has brought to light a new chance to explore the role of HODs, the stakeholders they represent, and how they could progress toward a larger understanding and better response to critical school concerns. As a result, the author's goal in this article is to find out "How should HODs exercise their powers in crisis management?" The author emphasizes the significance of flexibility and organizational creativity in times of crisis based on this investigation. The author also discusses how HODs can bridge the gap between school administrators and teachers, school crisis management and resolution, knowledge of technology information, and communication, virtual learning, communication, crisis management strategies, and how principals can support HODs when the next crisis is right around the corner. The Corona Virus (Covid-19) epidemic created fear and vulnerability among people and school personnel and students, particularly in educational systems.
