MoE looks at recommendations of students' loan review

Deputy permanent secretary responsible for the department, Golekanye Setume said yesterday that they are busy planning how to implement the recommendations. "This process will make us take a position on how to inform the policy on these recommendations," he explained. 

The final report of the review was released on November 25, 2009. The Evaluation Services Team - Botswana (BEST) recommended a new direction in human resources for the economy, award of government sponsorships and recovery of student loans for the scheme. The research team felt that since its inception in 1995, the scheme has never been reviewed and as such has become outdated, failing to adequately align with the present and future economic and social challenges.
