MoBE Wants P60M For BEC Expansion

In 2017, government, through a Cabinet Directive 10A/2017 directed BEC to build the necessary capacity to take up full responsibility of Vocational Moderation and Assessment, including all tasks and responsibilities which were previously undertaken by Madirelo Training and Testing Centre (MTTC).

“Out of this amount, P5 million has already been spent on transformation of the Botswana Examinations Council into a high performance organisation to cater for the assessment of general education and technical and vocational education and training leaving a balance of P5 million, which is inadequate to cover all the outstanding activities,” it reads.
