Ministry changes exam dates

Friday, August 26, 2011

The Ministry of Education and Skills Development has postponed the date of this year's Botswana General Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (BGCSE) and Junior Certificate Examination (JCE).

The BGCSE examination will now start on November 23 while students will sit JCE written papers from November 7-18 instead of October. A statement from the Botswana Examinations Council (BEC) spokesman, Charles Keikotlhae, said the changes also affect the coursework assessment and moderation schedules.

He said that the details of changes have been communicated directly to examination centres. BGCSE private candidates are advised that they should destroy all the statements of entry they have, as new ones will be issued by the end of this month.
