Regarding the links between education and culture in Namibia, though professional training opportunities in select fields are not yet available, public institutions provide a fairly diverse offering of programmes related to culture at the TVET and tertiary levels 7(0.7/1), reflecting Namibian authorities’ interest and willingness to invest in cultural education at the professional level. These figures underline the unexploited demand-driven market potential for the culture sector in Namibia. Furthermore, low levels of supply of domestic fiction productions on public TV 10(12.15% of broadcasting time of fiction programmes), indirectly reflect insufficient opportunities for diffusion and exposure of cultural contents provided by local creators and cultural industries. The results suggest that although there is a high level of demand for the consumption of foreign and domestic cultural goods, services and activities 3(9%) of total household consumption expenditures) there is a low level of domestic production, particularly in the formal sector, illustrated by a low percentage of cultural employment 2(0.65% of the total employed population).
