MoE gets Indian computers

Speaking at the handover ceremony, the Indian High Commissioner in Botswana, Vishnu Hade said his country is making the donation as part of a commitment made in 2006. He said the commitment was made by the Indian Prime Minister during his December 2006 visit to Botswana. Hade revealed that they will give the ministry computers worth P8 million annually for the next five years to be distributed to schools. Experts from India are expected to arrive in the country to install the computers in schools and to assist the teachers in using them.

At the handover ceremony, Botswana Education Minister, Jacob Nkate said that the computers will be distributed soon. "We must be ready because it will be a shame if we are not ready by the time the experts arrive to install the computers in schools," Nkate said.
