Boitekanelo, BOSETU upskill educators

The major players in the educator sector at the signing ceremony held in the Boitekanelo College campus in Gaborone were in agreement that educators in the country are lacking in some aspects of entrepreneurship and health education hence the need for further training. The members through the MoU also offered counselling at Boitekanelo College.

Speaking at the ceremony, Boitekanelo College provost, Dr Tiroyaone Mampane said through the MoU, educators will acquire skills and knowledge in health and entrepreneurship amongst others. He said the main objective of the MoU is to capacitate BOSETU members in health and education while the members have also been allowed to further their education with Boiketanelo College's short courses programme. “We are looking at short courses around entrepreneurship for our members so that as they prepare to exit their jobs, we implore them to have side hustles, so they will have the necessary skills to run their businesses accordingly. So at the core of our partnership, it is of mutual benefit from both partners that we continue to move towards a knowledge-based economy as a country,” Mampane said.
