BEC CEO Dr Moreetsi Thobega PIC: KENNEDY RAMOKONE

Expressing deep concern over the recurring issue of examination paper leaks, the Botswana Sector of Educators Trade Union (BOSETU) has called upon the Botswana Examinations Council (BEC) CEO to resign immediately.

The call for the CEO’s resignation follows a recent scandal where some Botswana General Certificate Secondary Education (BGCSE) examination papers were leaked before their scheduled sitting, an issue which has questioned the credibility of the BEC and disgraced the education system.

The scandal has since compelled BGCSE exams to be postponed to October 30, 2023, for BEC to carry out further investigations over the leaked examination papers.
