BOSETU rejects proposed eight-hour work day

He said applying the eight-hour work day, which applies to the entire public sector, to teachers is a huge mistake that has affected education delivery negatively.  Addressing the media in Gaborone on Wednesday, Rari said the current hours of work were not ideal for a school system. He argued that the arrangement has degraded the quality of teaching and learning.

"Eight hours are not enough to be divided among teaching and non-teaching duties, and it is impossible for students to come out of class and immediately go for extra-curricular activities," he said.
