Thutlwe decries schools over-subscription

Thutlwe also called on primary schools to admit only the permitted number of pupils to avoid problems including health hazards.

“We are experiencing over-subscription in five primary schools with more than 880 pupils in a school, which is a permissible enrolment standard school.  These are Ben Thema with 1,068, Masa 1,030, Mophane 1,057, Lesedi 1,077, Tshwaragano 1,050, Ithuteng 1,055 and Tlhabologo 968,” Thutlwe said yesterday at a Gaborone City Council (GCC) meeting.
