Private schools predominantly in foreign hands

Speaking at the ongoing Parliament session yesterday, Molao explained that it is resulted by the fact that private schools run like any other business with a view to ensuring good to excellent educational performance results hence their aim to recruit the best teachers at rates they can afford and in a sustainable manner. 

“There are 72 private primary schools and 44 private secondary schools making a total of 116 private schools registered and operating in Botswana. There are 4,853 teachers and support staff employed in these schools. The number of citizens managing these schools, heads and deputies is 55. This compares to 119 non-citizens,” he said.
