Botswana Examinations Council has maintained that there is nothing to worry about despite reports of students in some junior secondary schools leaving the examinations rooms in tears after the temporary invigilators failed to deliver the reading comprehension to their expectations.

Reports state that the reading varied, from one headmaster using a public address system, temporary invigilators not comfortable with the reading part resulting in a one hour delay, to students requesting the temporary invigilators to repeat the passage four times because they did not grasp anything from the reading.
