Take maths and science seriously, students urged

The Department of Research Science and Technology (DRST) deputy director, Boitumelo Batungamili said Batswana had misconceptions that these particular subjects were difficult.

Speaking at the Science Communication Workshop yesterday, Batungamili explained that unlike history, which differed depending on a country’s past, science and maths were based on facts that were applicable worldwide. She urged parents to instill a love of the subjects in their children at a tender age.
