| Primary education | School stage | Primary education forms the first main school level. |
| Junior and senior secondary | Secondary | Secondary schooling follows primary education. |
| TVET and higher education | Post-school | Vocational and tertiary routes continue after secondary school. |

How to read the Namibia evidence
The learner-teacher ratio is a derived national indicator published by the Ministry, not a ratio calculated independently by this page.
Regional variation exists in the report, but the headline card keeps only the national ratio.
