We celebrate Botswana's youth and their digital future.

Mathematics is the foundation of much of the AI innovation and digital technology that we see today. From algebra to statistics, strong math skills unlock tomorrow's careers. For example, statistics is used in data science and algebra is used in machine learning.

We are proud to provide educational textbooks that strengthen these foundations, empowering Botswana's youth to become AI pioneers and digital leaders!

Your mindset shapes everything. When you believe your abilities can grow through effort, you embrace challenges as opportunities to learn rather than threats to your identity. This "growth mindset" transforms setbacks into stepping stones. The most powerful learners don't see themselves as fixed, but as constantly evolving. Your potential isn't predetermined. It's cultivated through persistence, curiosity, and embracing the journey of continual growth.

"If you believe in justice and freedom, you will abide by them." Today we honour our founding fathers' vision of kagisano (unity), p**a (prosperity), and democracy. His legacy of racial equality, peaceful coexistence, and self-reliance continues to guide Botswana. We say "P**a, Motswana wetsho."

Today, our quote comes from the pragmatic educator John Dewey. He emphasised lifelong learning through the kinetic methods of learning. This means that you learn through action, for example, by learning about plants through gardening.

This week, we commemorate the Day of the African Child (June 16) with its 2025 theme: "Planning and budgeting for children's rights: progress since 2010."

The day honours the brave South African students who participated in the 1976 Soweto Uprising, demanding their right to quality education.

At Collegium, we're proud to contribute to accessible education across Botswana through our affordable, culturally relevant textbooks.

Research shows students who enjoy reading are SIX TIMES more likely to perform above grade level. A study by Cambridge University of 10,000 young people revealed that recreational reading shapes brain development in regions critical for learning and attention.

Remarkably, reading enjoyment predicts academic success more strongly than family income, creating a pathway to success for all children.

Just 12 hours of reading weekly creates a virtuous cycle: enjoyment increases reading frequency, which improves skills, making reading even more enjoyable.
Beyond academics, regular readers exhibit improved mental well-being, focus, and empathy, thereby building neural pathways that support lifelong success.

Today, the Ministry of Child Welfare and Basic Education commemorates National Teachers' Day in Palapye under the theme "Investing in Teachers as architects of the new Botswana."

At Collegium Educational Publishers, we join in honouring the dedicated educators who shape our nation's future. Teachers aren't just knowledge providers; they're mentors, innovators, and true architects of tomorrow's Botswana.

Our commitment to supporting teachers continues through our specialised educational resources designed with Botswana's curriculum in mind. From textbooks to digital learning tools, we're proud to equip these educational architects with quality materials.

"A navigator loses his way in neither a great nor a small vessel, but the inexperienced do in both. In the same way, an educated person is not troubled in wealth or poverty, but the uneducated is troubled in both."

This profound ancient wisdom captures the essence of true education; it is education that prepares us to navigate life's challenges with equilibrium and resilience, regardless of the circumstances.

At Collegium, education should equip students with more than just academic knowledge. Like the skilled navigator who remains steadfast in any vessel, a well-educated mind has the emotional intelligence and critical thinking skills to thrive in all of life's circumstances.

Mathematics is more than just numbers– it's about problem-solving and critical thinking. Our Mathematics Book 3 offers practical examples that relate to real-world scenarios, making abstract concepts concrete and accessible.
