The Member of Parliament (MP) for Francistown South, Wynter Mmolotsi, has called for a commission of inquiry into the 2010 examination crisis following a standoff between the Botswana Examinations Council (BEC) and teachers.

Teachers refused to invigilate examinations this year because they could not agree on terms with BEC. The BEC ended up engaging private invigilators who had no experience on the job.

As result of this fracas, Mmolotsi tabled a motion in Parliament for the government to probe whether the examinations were conducted in a proper manner.
