BEC, teachers' unions start negotiations

Botswana Teachers Union (BTU) and Botswana Sector of Educators Trade Union (BOSETU) have been embroiled in an unending impasse with the exams body over the rates and other related conditions of service, concerning coursework, invigilation, and marking for the 2022–23 cycle.

The unions had refused to discuss the rates and other related conditions of service, coursework, invigilation, and marking of external examinations outside a formal structure in the form of a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) or Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
