Acting Minister, Mokgweetsi Masisi this week told primary school heads that between 2017 and 2018, the ministry would introduce the pre-primary programme in all public primary schools.

Masisi’s announcement follows the introduction of the Early Childhood Care Education (ECCE) Diploma in public education colleges.

The Serowe College of Education Diploma will initially offer the ECCE Diploma.
