The permanent secretary in the Ministry of Education and Skills Development (MoESD) Theophilus Mooko says the Botswana College of Distance and Open Learning (BOCODOL) will be a university mid next year. Mooko said this yesterday while launching BOCODOL’s 2016-2020 Strategic Plan themed ‘Embracing the Transformation’.
