The Future is Now!
In Botswana, basic education prioritises and rewards academic performance. However, on average, less than 13% of high school graduates in Botswana achieve 6 Cs or better.
Without the integration of a robust and relevant skills programme, basic education will continue to fail to prepare the ~90% of the students who begin Secondary School for the next stage in their life journey.
We do things a little differently at The Dow Academy, because here, The Future is Now!
