J18 - Namibia
Comparative Education (EDUC 385) C

![]() |

In this two month course, students will student teach for approximately six weeks in primary schools located in Windhoek, and volunteer in an after school program in Katutura, Windhoek's township. All students will learn about the historical aspects of education in Namibia and compare and contrast educational practices in Namibia and the United States. This experience will be augmented by study tours to historically significant sites such as the Ondao Mobile Primary School, and by the interactions and discussions with native Namibians.

Global and intercultural education is one of the primary focal points of the academic program at Pacific Lutheran University.
Committed to educate for a just, healthy, sustainable, and peaceful world, PLU weaves global education through almost every aspect of a student's study. World events shape our lives, and PLU's curriculum reflects that reality. As a result, students will graduate well prepared for graduate study or a career with a global focus.
PLU's partnership with Earth Deeds allows us to go further in these commitments and enable students to measure and acknowledge the unavoidable carbon footprints from their study away experience and help support a meaningful sustainability project.
