Botswana: news, education updates and local stories

Looking for straightforward news about Botswana — from school policy and university changes to local events and economy? This tag collects every story we publish about Botswana, with a clear focus on education and how it shapes daily life across the country.

What you'll find under the Botswana tag

We publish short news briefs, longer explainers, and on-the-ground reports. Expect updates on school and university leadership, exam results, scholarship openings, teacher strikes, government education policy, and stories about youth and community learning. We also cover related topics like local politics, health policy affecting schools, and economic news that touches students and teachers.

Each post is written to be useful: who is affected, what changed, and what it means for students, parents and educators. If a new policy affects school fees, for example, you'll see the rule, the deadline, and practical steps families can take next.

Have a tip or a local update? Send us a short message with location and proof if possible. We rely on readers to flag school announcements, community meetings, scholarship notices and local education issues. Clear, verifiable tips help us publish faster and protect sources when needed.

Looking for school resources or scholarship listings? Use the search box with keywords like "scholarship", "exam results", or the name of a university. For parents, filter posts by topics such as "admissions" or "health and safety" to find practical steps and dates you need.

We aim to explain why a story matters. If a ministry issues a new requirement, we break down who must act, when it takes effect, and what documents are needed. If a university changes its admission rules, we list the affected programs and how applicants can respond.

Want less noise and more context? Read our explainers and feature pieces, where we connect dots between policy, school life and jobs. Those stories are longer but make it easier to see the bigger picture — like how a budget change affects teacher hiring or student support programs.

Keep checking back — we update this tag daily. Bookmark this page, sign up for alerts, and share stories you find useful. If you spot a local education event or an important announcement in Botswana, send it our way and we’ll try to cover it quickly and clearly.
