Botswana signs deal for educational TV

The agreement was signed between NHK and the Ministry of Education (MoE) at the Gaborone Sun. MoE Permanent Secretary, Ruth Maphorisa said the event was a culmination of a long process of negotiations meant to achieve the greatest benefit from the relationship.

She said the ministry has long realised the role-played by electronic media in education. This is why it established educational radio programmes early in the education system.
She explained that in 2006, the ministry, through the Department of Curriculum Development and Evaluation, engaged a consultancy to look into the possibility of establishing educational television in Botswana.
