ACTS OF DEDICATION & OATHS






             TEACHER’S ACT OF DEDICATION

            FACULTY OF EDUCATION
            On the eve of my admission to the teaching profession, I solemnly declare that I shall strive
            to fulfil my duty in the high calling of the teaching profession.


            I realize that I shall work with the most precious possession of our country – our children, and
            that the quality of education in this country is mainly determined by the teacher. I promise
            that I will fulfil my duties in a responsible manner and to assist the learners, in co-operation
            with the parents and the community, to become responsible and independent citizens who
            will also maintain high moral standards.
            I shall furthermore strive to create a sense of national pride
            which will encourage the learners to become loyal citizens
            of the Republic of Namibia.

            I promise  to be  loyal to my colleagues  and to those in  authority without surrendering
            professional responsibility to the learners. As a member of the teaching profession, I shall
            strive to keep abreast of all academic thought and development, and through my personal
            conduct and attitude, enhance the image of the profession.
