BEC invigilator suspended

"Action has been taken against the officer. He has been suspended," she said during the Friday parliament session. The assault incident, which was exclusively exposed by The Monitor, occurred at Marulamantshi Junior Secondary School when students were writing mock examinations. The invigilator is an employee of the Botswana Examinations Council (BEC). Both the Ministry of Education and Skills Development and the BEC have been trying to keep this incident under wraps.

Just on Thursday, the director for regional operations (South East), Peter Choto told The Monitor that they were still conducting investigations. He said this was an incident that involved BEC. Asked why the investigations were taking so long, Choto said his department has been dealing with examinations. He said there were many issues that they were handling.
