Education ministry introduces specialization

She explained that they are looking at results of the pilot project, which guides them on how they should roll out. Zuze stated that they changed the medium of instruction from Setswana to English and this has improved the confidence of the students.

"This does not confuse the young students. It gives them exposure of knowing that there are other people around them instead of seeing their one teacher as the person with all the knowledge," she said, adding that the system is working well for the ministry. The president of the Botswana Primary Teachers Association (BOPRITA), Sam Malete says they are happy with specialisation, as they have long advocated for it.
