BOSETU condemns APP

A few days after the Botswana Examinations Council (BEC) released the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results, the Botswana Sectors of Education Union (BOSETU) has expressed its displeasure over the government’s Automatic Promotion Policy (APP).

This comes after this year’s PSLE results showed a slight improvement compared to last year’s, though having still not drawn any confidence in the future of candidates’ performance at subsequent levels.

Responding to the 2018 PSLE results yesterday, BOSETU publicity secretary, Edwin Maitshoko said they were concerned that of the 12,641 pupils who have not done well, government would still allow them to progress to the next stage through the APP. He said they condemn that policy in the strongest terms.
