I will sort out poor quality in education-Venson-Moitoi

The Minister of Education and Skills Development, Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi made this announcement at a gathering at the launch of the Education and Training Strategic Sector Plan (ETSSP) in Gaborone yesterday.According to Venson-Moitoi, the body will ensure that learners have access to and are provided with high quality and relevant courses and training. Moreover, it aims at positioning local training institutions to increase their recognition and make them sought after.

However, she said the nation has to be cognizant of the fact that the success of such initiatives, are to a large extend, dependent upon the performance of other areas within the education and training sector: "It therefore means that we should view and support the change process across the entire sector," Venson-Moitoi went on to say, "otherwise, we risk weak links within the chain that would render the entire initiative unsuccessful" she added.
