Elise went to school at the Onguti Secondary School where she failed Grade 12 with 17 points, came to Windhoek, enrolled for the PETE programme, and today she is aiming to do her Biomedical studies at a university in Cape Town. She enjoyed her time at NAMCOL and feels that the teachers at the PETE programme did much more than her teachers back home. “Had I been taught some of the things I was taught at NAMCOL, I would have passed Grade 12 the first time around”, she added.

She urges everybody, especially young people, to enrol with NAMCOL as she claims, that the other institutions out there are only after money and NAMCOL is cheaper, the teachers work harder and if you work hard, your results will improve. “The results published earlier this year proved that NAMCOL is not a place for failures!”
