Education Section
The Government of Botswana has set
as one of the strategies, The Botswana Development Training Programme
to train citizens in various skills and professions to meet manpower
requirements of the growing economy.
The Botswana Development Training
Programme can be divided into two broad based categories; -
Pre-Service Training
is targeted to candidates, the majority of whom are recent senior
secondary school leavers. The Department of Student Placement and
Welfare (DSPW) has the responsibility to administer the Government’s
grant/loan scheme under which financial assistance can be obtained
for post-secondary study.
In-service Training
is aimed at Serving Officers. Government Ministries/Departments
having identified areas of human resources scarcity provide training
that is appropriate to the needs of the service. In-Service Training
is coordinated under the direction of the Directorate of Public
Service Management through the Training and Development Division.
The Role of the Office of
Education and Training Attaché is to administer
scholarship programs funded by the Government of Botswana. The scholarship
program is guided by operational guidelines/procedures outlined
in the Memorandum of Agreement and the Guidelines
on Procedures Governing Scholarship Administration for
Pre-service students. The Bond Memorandum, Directives,
The Training Management Handbook and the General
Orders lay down the rules and regulations guiding In-service
Training.
The terms of scholarship cover payment
of all tuition and fees, medical insurance
and all charges related to the academic program. Students are currently
insured under the Botswana Student Insurance Program (Policy # 2130-04),
underwritten by Mega Life and Health Insurance Company, through
the Agency of GB Herndon and Associates.
