Monkge must resign

Monday, September 10, 2018

The BNF is aware of the countless challenges bedevilling our education system and has on several occasions proffered solutions to the now moribund Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) government.

Bravo, Matlala JSS for recognising employees!

Last Friday, Matlala Junior Secondary School (JSS) in Tlokweng did just that – they organised an event to honour their teachers and support staff. This gesture is truly commendable, as teachers occupy a pivotal role in the lives of our children.To be completely candid, teachers are the ones who shape our children from a very tender age, investing a significant amount of time in their growth and development.
