You have not only done yourselves proud but your families, teachers and Batswana at large too. We would like to say to those who did not make it not to lose hope but to continue to upgrade their qualifications. As a party we are aware that you were writing examinations in one of the most adverse of conditions. The delay in releasing the results best explains the chaotic environment under which examinations were administered.

The delay in releasing the results explains the chaotic environment under which examinations were administered.The fact that the JC pass rate has dropped by 0.4 percent from the 2009 results, is a clear sign of failure on the part of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) government. The drop in the pass mark is cause for concern. We believe that drastic measures need to be taken to improve the situation as a matter of urgency, as this has long term negative impact on the skills required in the country.
