Over P8M Spent On Boot Camps

The MP for Selebi Phikwe West MP Dithapelo Keorapetse had asked the minister to explain how much was actually spent, activities, departments involved, reported undesirable incidents and a number of learners who did not participate and reasons.

“Madam Speaker, the bootcamp attendance was recorded at 50% with 12,878 out of 25,632 BGCSE completers attending. This low turnout was a result of, among others, six of the 32 schools not having the bootcamp due to various reasons. The first four schools are Gaborone, Kagiso, Ledumang and Matsha. They decided that the notice was too short for them to organise boot camps while the last two are Mogoditshane and Naledi,” Molao said.
