Over 30,000 learners who sat for the Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary and the Advanced Subsidiary Levels have failed to qualify for admission to tertiary education institutions, and the Trade Union Congress of Namibia (TUCNA) Secretary General, Mahongora Kavihuha, described the situation as unfortunate and a great cause for concern.

38,013 learners sat for the full-time examinations, and only over 5,000 scored 25 points or higher. The remaining ones must figure out their next step.
