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.
