BQA fires employee, warns two

“Quality assurance is like working in a bank. Whenever something happens we need to take immediate action. We have taken action against the officers who we were investigating.  One has been expelled from work while the other two were given written warnings. Action will continue being taken,” he said.

Modungwa said with the introduction of new BQA regulations that will improve quality of teaching and learning in Botswana, they are introducing risk management, which will further strengthen their whistleblowing policy and ensure that whoever flouts it will be brought to book. Even though Modungwa would not go into detail, last year he told Mmegi’s sister publication The Monitor that there were allegations they may have not followed accreditation procedure, as they should have.  He said they took it extremely serious, especially when complainants came with the evidence they had.
