Student unrests and its implications: The case of tertiary institutions in Botswana

Our current curriculum in schools trains on almost every subject except conflict resolution. Yet conflict is inevitable and depending on how one perceives it, it may make or break the relationship.

On the area of skills development, we have witness growth. A series of seminars and workshops have been held with leading speakers gracing these events yet none of these would speak to issues relating to conflict. This is notwithstanding the fact that a larger part of our human interactions is governed by some form of a contract. The development and implementation of conflict resolution education policies in our school curricula is long overdue.
