MASUNGA: Teachers in North East district have lambasted the Botswana Examination Council (BEC) for the way it handled the 2010 school examinations that led to the boycott of invigilation by the teachers.

The committee of enquiry into the chaotic examinations, headed by the former Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Keetla Masogo, was in Masunga Monday for feedback on the 2010 examinations. The teachers who filled the venue, Ntisetsang Community Hall gave their views on what led to the fiasco during these exams.

The teachers' comments in reference to the BEC were peppered with words like "dishonesty" "bad faith", "turncoat" and other negative observations that painted the BEC as the devil on the works. A teacher from Maruje Junior Secondary School, Edward Jorowe said when they were offered P28 as money for invigilating the 2009 examinations they were made to believe things would change in 2010 and beyond.
