The Ministry of Basic Education (MoBE) has halted former president, Ian Khama’s initiative, the School Based Boot Camps for Botswana General Certificate of Secondary Education (BGCSE) learners for the year 2018.

According to a savingram from the acting permanent secretary at MoBE, Simon Coles, this is due to financial constraints faced by the Ministry.
