Boko sets tone for BNF response to Khama

Responding to Khama's State of the Nation Address, Boko said the approach taken by the government in denying the existing examination crisis, shows contempt for teachers.

"Are we shocked that this president is contemptuous of education? No," Boko exclaimed. Teachers have long sacrificed, accompanying students on trips, without per diem and working beyond working hours without pay. He decries the fact that the teachers have now become more aware of their rights and are firm in asserting them. They have moved away from their previous natural impulse of silence and docile acceptance," he said.
