Examiner�s concern to Botswana Examinations Council

We are abused and exploited as I will briefly demostrate.We are also sadly taken for granted because of our desperate financialy situation as teachers.

 First and foremost we are paid P220.00 per night for accomodation and this amount is little because lodges are expensive.Where can we get accomodated cheaply?BEC employees rates are more than doudle this amount. Another area of utmost concern is the standardisation fee which is a paltry fee of P137.00 for examiners but this takes about 4 days depending on various subjects to complete.Scripts fees across all subjects are small and they do not entice teachers to go for marking.What attract teachers for marking are small “subsistence fees” not that they want to mark. Shading and entering marks are done free by examiners.
