PSLE exam subjects to be shredded to four

The announcement was made recently at the just-ended education pitso that was held in Maun. The decision, which is yet to be finalised will see only Mathematics, English, Science and Setswana being examined for PSLE. Agriculture, Social Studies and Religious and Moral Education are falling out.

The three subjects however will be taught in primary schools, and be examinable only until Standard 7 term two examinations.  A primary school teacher who preferred anonymity said as a country that wants to strengthen food security, Agriculture should not have been left out in order to grow the spirit of self-reliance from a tender age.
