Botswana's education system on a free fall

someone is definitely sleeping on the job, for this is a concern that has been raised for the longest time. with no end in sight. It would appear that our education is on a free fall, with our planners hoping that things will just happen one day and we will find ourselves back on track.

Really? Up until schools opened most parents did not know that signing their children up for school meant they would have to dig deeper into their pockets beyond budgeting for school uniform and school fees to include buying chairs and text books. For quite some time now, parents have been reeling under the weight of the responsibility of having to fork out their hard-earned money to sponsor the printing of learning materials for their children because our schools don't have printers to do the job. This includes buying text books and all.
