Masisi vows to clean up education 'mess'

Dilapidated classrooms and other inadequate infrastructure, shortage of water and staff housing, delays in electrification as well as problems in the delivery of textbooks and learning materials, were among shortcomings discovered by the high-level delegation of cabinet ministers.

President Ian Khama dispatched the ministers to inspect schools in the aftermath of the disappointing nationwide academic results. Although the cabinet delegation still has not made its findings public, Masisi told the Third National Primary School Heads Conference on Tuesday that government is aware of the wide-ranging challenges in schools.
