According to BOSETU the teachers took issues of personal safety into con-sideration and decided to opt out, “We hear there is shortage of invigilators in Gaborone. Invigilation is not compulsory, as per a ruling by courts of law in our 2017 case against  the Botswana Examinations Council(BEC) that invigilation and marking can-not be forced on teachers since it is the job of BEC, so no one should be forced to do those activities, they are done out of vo-lition and when they are done they should be paid”.
