Employ more teachers to curb class overcrowding

The teacher/student ratio was even identified as one of the reasons why government schools - from primary to senior secondary level - yield dismal results year after year.

Soon after the outcry as is typical of Batswana, the issue of the recently released poor Junior Certificate Examination (JCE) results has now been forgotten. It will be revisited next year after the release of yet another demonstration of poor performance. The issue of overcrowding in our classrooms also is forgotten.
