Industry urged to help develop BTEP

The Department of Technical and Vocational Education and Training has appealed to different employers in various industries to support them in developing and implementing the Botswana Technology Education Programme (BTEP).

Speaking at the Quality Assurance and Assessment Unit (QAA)’s breakfast meeting held at Boipuso Hall, the head of the unit Oarabile Akoonyatse said that they need the support and involvement of industries/employers in order to produce quality programmes. “We need your advice on the appropriate attitudes, development and skills needed to develop those programmes,” she said.
