Mahupu teachers complain about overwork

Disgruntled teachers at Mahupu Unified Secondary School in Takatokwane have expressed concern that they are forced to work overtime as the facility operates without clear guidelines three years on since its first intake in 2016.

The teachers who were slapped with new employment contracts after they raised concern with education authorities in what they view as a way to silence them say they have been forced to teach both Junior Certificate (JC)  and Botswana General Certificate of Secondary Education (BGCSE) curricula.

Mahupu and Tsabong Unified Secondary School were established as pilot projects in 2016. But three years on, there have been reports that the institutions are facing several challenges affecting the teaching staff.
