Hikuama appeals for calm as DDT College students strike :: Mmegi Online

Member of Parliament (MP) for Maun West and Opposition whip, Caterpillar Hikuam, has called on students at DDT College of Medicine to remain calm and call off the strike action they are involved in to allow relevant stakeholders to resolve their grievances.

Earlier today, DDT college students staged a protest outside the school's premises to raise their frustrations with the institution’s administration. For months now, students and management of DDT have been entangled in issues ranging from the accreditation status of the school and its programmes.

As the issue remains unresolved between the two parties, Botswana Qualification Authority (BQA), Human Resource Development Council (HRDC), and the Ministry of Higher Education have since revoked the accreditation of DDT because the institution does not meet the requirements to offer accredited qualifications.
