President Khama�s Speech At The Top Achievers Awards

The purpose is not only to recognise and celebrate the achievements of outstanding performers, but also to serve as encouragement to those who may not be doing so well to do better. While very few receive these awards, others out there aspire to receive them the next time. This is the positive side of excellence awards.

The Botswana Examinations Council awards, given in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Skills Development, are no different. They are given to students whose performance in the Primary School Leaving Examinations, Junior Certificate Examinations and the Botswana General Certificate of Secondary Education is outstanding. The expectation is that those who are still in the primary and secondary schools system would be motivated to work harder and perform better so that they could be recognised during the next award ceremony.
