ABSTRACT

The academic performances among grade 10 learners become a matter of concern in Namibian schools since independence, despite deliberate effort made by the government. Many of the learners perform poorly in their grade 10 examinations, especially in the Onamutai circuit. This situation frustrates everybody and creates a blaming spirit among the Onamutai circuit stakeholders. The public have blamed educators for the failure of learners and the educators on the other hand, have blamed the environment in which schools are located. However, few studies have addressed the factors that contribute to poor performance among learners in urban areas and no study was conducted for the rural schools. Therefore, the focus of this study was to find out the factors that contribute to poor Grade 10 learners‟ performance in the Onamutai circuit in Oshana region.
