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.

Batswana need to do better to stop FMD

It is a clear signal that the government’s purse is empty and that our own behaviour has left veterinary officials fighting with one hand tied behind their backs. We have been here before. During COVID-19, many of us thought we knew better. We ignored simple rules, we carried on as if the danger was someone else’s problem, and the virus took lives and left our economy on its knees.
