Restore dignity-SRC tell Venson-Moitoi

During a meeting with the minister on Monday, one student representative said they have lost trust and respect for the ministry.  He urged Venson-Moitoi to make a difference in the ministry and to communicate more with students. He asserted that lack of communication from the ministry has caused a lot of misunderstandings and problems between the two sides.

Another representative pleaded with the minister to visit educational institutions outside Gaborone to witness challenges that students face everyday. Student representatives demanded certainty in the approval of accredited courses. They said the ministry accredits some courses and later withdraws them. They complained that some institutions do not meet the standards to offer certain courses, yet the ministry has done nothing to correct this. They urged the ministry not to just accredit courses and sit back without follow-ups to make sure that institutions meet the required standards.
