Parents in dilemma as school refuses to admit children

When asked for comment in this matter, the school head Dinah Buisanyang said that she is guided by the Ministry of Education's establishment registers for primary schools of 2008/09.  "The policy has always been there and it states that this school can only take up to 600 students. It is only that this is the first time that this has happened in this school," she said.

She revealed that the school heads attended a regional meeting held in Gaborone last Friday where it was emphasized that the school abide by the established register for primary schools. "The limit is also guided by the resources that the school has. If we admit more students those resources might be over stretched," she said. She further revealed that she has held consultations and the school will now register all the standard ones but those transferring from other schools will have to try their luck at Matebeleng village.
