The Botswana Congress Party (BCP) candidate for Mogoditshane constituency Tumiso 'Chillyboy' Rakgare decries shortage of classrooms and teachers’ accommodation in the peri-urban village east of Gaborone.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday at the Big Five Lodge, Rakgare said at Mogoditshane Primary School four classes for standard two and three are taught under a tree, while 10 teachers do not have accommodation.

In all these schools, teachers are facing a serious problem of accommodation and that is why students are not performing well,” he said.
