State Memorial Service in honour of the third President of the Republic of Botswana Dr Festus Mogae. Botswana gathers in honour of former President Dr Festus Mogae, a statesman remembered for his calm leadership, humility, and unwavering commitment to national development.

As the nation reflects on his legacy, Batswana remember a leader devoted to service, stability, good governance, and the advancement of the people of Botswana.

Assistant Minister of Health, Lawrence Ookeditse, says the current government is committed to bringing significant changes to the health sector as promised.

Speaking yesterday during International Nurses Day celebrations in Shakawe, Ookeditse said they intend to improve healthcare financing and bettering working conditions of nurses.

Their Ministry has also identified long-standing challenges within the healthcare system, saying it has for years favored those with financial means, leaving others struggling to access quality healthcare.

Ookeditse assured the public that the Ministry is working towards creating a system that will be accessible to everyone at any time, regardless of their financial standing.

The latest investment in new computers and tablets reflects Gaborone International School (GIS)โ€™s ongoing commitment to improving the learning experience for students and ensuring its facilities remain aligned with the demands of modern education.

โ€œInteractive technology makes learning more exciting, accessible, and meaningful for young learners. We have seen an impressive improvement in our international benchmarking (MAP testing) results for reading after having implemented Guided Readers in Standards 1 to 3. Students become more confident, more curious, and more willing to participate in classroom activities, while also strengthening important foundational academic skills,โ€ Lisedi Phuti, Head of Primary School at GIS.

โ€œIn a Cambridge environment, students need to move beyond simply knowing information. They need to apply it, analyse it, and communicate their thinking clearly. These upgrades give our teachers and learners stronger tools to support that kind of learning,โ€ Thomas Ramakgoakgoa, High School Principal.

For the Executive Head of the school, Hannelie Raubenheimer, โ€œa computer lab that was considered excellent four years ago is simply not sufficient for the needs of students today. We therefore must continue evolving to ensure our students remain equipped with the skills, tools, and confidence they need to thrive.โ€

Kgosi Mutemo Mbambo of Shakawe has called on government to strengthen efforts aimed at retaining nurses in the country.

Speaking during Nurses Day commemoration yesterday, Kgosi Mbambo expressed concern over the growing number of nurses leaving Botswana for Britain in search of better opportunities, saying the trend continues to weaken the countryโ€™s health sector.

He noted that nurses are trained using taxpayerโ€™s money and therefore should use their skills and expertise to serve the nation.
