TEC to hold education fair

Speaking at a stakeholders briefing yesterday, TEC's executive secretary Dr Patrick Molutsi said the fair would advise Form Five leavers and the working force on which career paths are marketable in Botswana. He asserted that the fair would be used to promote the mandate of the TEC and attract foreign students into the country. "TEC would like the fair to position all the registered institutions as contemporary entities that adhere to global standards," Molutsi said.

Molutsi revealed that for the past three years external institutions have come into the country to stage their education fairs with the main goal of recruiting students to their universities. "It is not like we are trying to be copycats, we just feel that we are ready, like never before to stage our own education fair to showcase the programmes offered by our own institutions. "It is important to position Botswana as a destination for tertiary education," he said adding that the fair will be an annual event.
