Have Today�s Educational Problems Roots In The Past?

We have the DCEC - that is the Corruption people - investigating some of the tertiary educational institutions and, as well, the management of Botswana Railways which is about to launch the country’s second-time-around, Blue Train. 

We are being given the impression that the country’s educational system is rotten from top to bottom and that if only we had taken something from good old Tiger Kloof and learnt from dear old Patrick van Rensburg, we would not be in today’s mess. It has long puzzled me that Tiger Kloof’s supposed successor establishment here should have been the very orthodox, Moeding College in Otse; a fine school, of course, but one which had little in common with Tiger Kloof.
