Translating Policy Into Practice

The educational reform in Namibia has proposed pedagogical changes in the classrooms, namely the introduction of learner-centred education. Theories about educational policy implementation and their implications for teaching underline the notion that educational reform is a 'progress' and it comes in cycles. The implications for these theories therefore imply that teachers play an important role in any educational reform and policy making and implementaion in order to make any change in education a worthwhile process.
