BOSETU Rallies Teachers to Abandon extra Workload

Monday, May 16, 2022 | 1740 Views |

Teaching sector trade union, BOSETU, is calling upon teachers to abandon any extra load that the Ministry of Education & Skills Development alleges has resulted from reduced class sizes to 30 and reduced class time to 30 minutes, as the union is currently engaging the employer on the matter. BOSETU Secretary General Tobokani Rari says in a statement that with immediate effect, teachers should cease to carry extra loads beyond their maximums as stated in the 2012 ER.

Justice delayed is trust denied

Batswana who marched peacefully for 'Justice for Tshepi' demanded answers. They have now received a detailed account of police investigation and a promise that the file is with the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
