Our sponsor, #TeamGraduate, wants to develop an e-learning platform to provide Namibians with an alternative education to increase the pass rate of the national exams. The goal of our project was to provide #TeamGraduate with a curriculum framework as a starting point for future development. Through interviews with Namibian and online educators and archival research of syllabi, we were able to develop the frameworks for three subjects and provide recommendations for the feasibility and future sustainability of the platform. These frameworks account for the unique challenges within Namibian education and the inherent barriers to learning online.
