PTA chief slams parents for negligence

Earlier during this month, Botswana Sectors for Educators Union (BOSETU) and Botswana Teachers Union (BTU) urged the government to close schools for two weeks to monitor COVID-19 cases

After the public hue and cry the Ministry of Basic Education took a decision to close all schools with effect from July 16 to August 17 so that they are inspected for COVID-19 compliance. The schools closure was also in response to stem the school-based COVID-19 cases.
