Boycott bec, teachers told

The call was made be the Botswana Secondary Teachers Union (BOSETU) and the Botswana Teachers Union (BTU) in a joint statement. "Teachers should ignore any correspondence from BEC or school authorities on BEC related issues since it will not be in their best interest. Teachers have given BOSETU and BTU the mandate to improve their working and living conditions. The unions have the right and duty to protect its members, wherever they are going to provide services. Any teacher who is going to sign and do BEC work without the blessings of the two unions would have betrayed the teaching profession and the future, including his/her children, who will judge such a teacher harshly," the statement reads.

In the statement further revealed that BOSETU and BTU will be boycotting the BEC after failing to have a working Memorandum of Understanding.
