Teachers� unions call for exam results policy :: Mmegi Online

Teachers’ unions have unanimously called on government to formulate a policy governing the publication of national exams’ results. The unions want a fixed date for the commencement of the senior secondary academic calendar, which the Botswana Examinations Centre (BEC) ought to follow religiously through publishing results on time.

Currently, Botswana has no policy on the start of the Form Four first term as confirmed by officials in the Ministry of Education and Skills Development (MoESD). The BEC pace of processing and releasing results determines when Form Fours report for the first term.

Botswana Teachers Union (BTU) publicity secretary, Gofaone Pusompe has said the lack of policy has metamorphosed an anomaly into normality, and it is business as usual that Form Fours start their first term later than the rest of the learners.
