The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology released the Namibia National Digital Strategy 2025-2029, which includes development of AI and cybersecurity curriculum for basic and higher education institutions alongside a target to increase internet usage from 53% to 90% by 2030. The strategy sets foundational digital literacy as a goal across all ages.
Who it affects: Students in basic and higher education, citizens lacking digital access, and government digital infrastructure planners.
What is notably missing: The strategy is a planning document; binding legal obligations for AI curriculum delivery are not established. Teacher training standards, dedicated AI education funding, and enforcement mechanisms are not specified. Internet penetration targets do not directly translate to AI literacy outcomes.
