Botswana's School System

     In Botswana there is two different types of education. First, there is basic education (elementary/middles school), which they are guaranteed ten years of.. Then, there is secondary education (high school), which is neither free nor compulsory. After completing both levels student are able to attend six different colleges. Girls and boys both have access to education in Botswana. Unlike the United States, Girls are likely to drop out of secondary school due to pregnancy and not come back. Most colleges are made up of boys because of this. Schools here are also free, but in Botswana when you reach secondary education you must pay.  Botswana is trying to raise their standards by getting more objectives. The overall objectives include the following:

•  To raise educational standards at all levels.
• To emphasize science and technology in the education system
• To make further education and training more relevant and available to larger numbers of people
• To improve the partnership between schools and communities in the development of education
• To provide lifelong education to all sections of the population
• To assume more effective control of the examination mechanism in order to ensure that the broad objectives of the curriculum are realized
• To achieve efficiency in educational development

A typical day in high school would somewhat resemble the high school in the United States. There would be fewer girls, and the schools would be a little run-down compared to ours. Fewer kids would attend because there is a smaller population.

People stay awake nightlong on Christmas Eve and sing traditional Christian devotional songs. After midnight family members come together and exchange gifts. There is the usual decoration of the Christmas tree and the arrival of the Santa Claus. During Christmas in Botswana the churches are decorated elaborately and people congregate at these churches to sing carols to celebrate the birth of Christ. During the day of Christmas the people meet their family and friends and exchange pleasantries. The country wears a colorful look as people come out in their best attire. You must definitely witness the festive spirit of the land during Christmas in Botswana.
