Moipisi blames poor results on lawlessness of students

The year-to-year dismal performance of students in national examinations has been blamed on the students’ lack of discipline and use of drugs.

In recent years, the country has witnessed a sharp decline in the results of students after seating for Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE), Junior Certificate (JC) and Botswana General Certificate for Secondary Education (BGCSE).  The trend in PSLE, and BGCSE results has not been different in that the percentage of students who are awarded grade C or better has been way below 50%.  Ironically, while the performance of students has been dropping, the expenditure of the education ministry has increased annually.

The Member of Parliament for Kgalagadi North, Itumeleng Moipisi has blamed this on the students’ lack of discipline and use of drugs.
