Maruapula School hosts Setswana Week

Initiated by the school's Setswana department, in collaboration with a number of Batswana employees in the school, under the theme Setso ke boikarabelo jwane (culture is my business), the week is aimed at promoting Setswana culture among the youth.

Organising committee chairperson and Setswana teacher Keorapetse Tshwene told Showbiz that the week was arranged following concerns that Setswana tradition/culture is slowly disappearing especially among the younger generation. It is common knowledge that Maruapula School is one of the best English medium schools, catering for different nationalities, and as such most of the students, including Batswana, are more exposed to the English language and Western influence.
