'Pre-primary education shouldn't be sold'

The recent introduction of early childhood education in public primary schools has been criticised by BOSETU for government's perceived 'half-hearted' commitment.

The union’s secretary-general, Tobokani Rari, emphasised the need for improved conditions in public school early childhood education to reduce the pressure on these schools. Speaking here Thursday during the BOSETU Pitso Ko Moding conference panel discussion, he stated that the current provision of early childhood education through pre-school classes is insufficient. He therefore called for the incorporation of early childhood education into mainstream education with ample resources, suitable infrastructure, and a controlled teaching curriculum for both public and private schools.
