DSPW fires salvo at UB over delayed entries

The University of Botswana (UB) has been lambasted by the Department of Student Placement and Welfare (DSPW) for thwarting its decentralised processing of memoranda by releasing admission letters late.

According to DSPW director Bosele Radipotsane, when they planned their decentralisation process they had meetings with the UB's admission department to have their admission letters ready by the end of May. However, that was not to be the case and the list of the admitted students was released by mid-July while the processing of memoranda at the other regions all over the country was already completed.

"We had only very few students admitted at UB coming from those regions while the majority were from the Limkokwing University," Radipotsane said, adding that when they got to Gaborone to finalise the signing of memoranda and expecting a smaller number of students that was when the students going to UB went in larger numbers.
