A case for a dual education system in Botswana

Abstract

The Faculty of Humanities of the University of Botswana put forth a task force to look into challenges facing the Faculty. The challenges are multiple. My argument in this submission is that it is urgent to assess the whole education system and make it fit for the integrating, globalising world. The aims would be to move away from a theory based education system to one that combines theory and practice and tailor it to job markets. I argue that the Swiss education system would be a good template.
