PALAPYE: Over 2, 000 teachers around the country currently earn below a minimum recommended take home income, a trend that does not sit well with the Ministry Of Education and Skills Development (MoESD), Mmegi has learnt.

Speaking at the Botswana Sector of Educators’ Trade Union (BOSETU) elective congress in Palapye this week, the Deputy Permanent Secretary Corporate Services at the ministry, Nosang Mhutsiwa said that teachers who go home with less than the recommended amount have high chances of performing poorly at work.
