A relevant and realistic curriculum should amongst other things, prepare students for the realities of their post-school life. The Design and Technology Programme considers the increasing youth unemployment of junior secondary school leavers who still expect to find jobs in the formal sector and do not seem to consider other sources of income generation in their communities. The Design and Technology Programme seeks to instill a spirit of self-reliance in learners to enable them to become resourceful and economically active in their communities. The syllabus encourages a hand on experience in learners.

The Programme is designed to provide maximum flexibility to enable both teachers and learners to utilise it in the way that suits local contexts and the background and experiences of students in different communities. The syllabus is organised into foci with each of the three years having a different focus.

Design and Technology is a subject that can empower young Batswana to become resourceful, self-reliant and economic participants in their communities. This programme begins by laying a firm foundation of generic skills, knowledge, values and attitudes that are useful to students for further training as well as the world of work. It is also useful to the majority of school leavers who might need to go into self employment projects. The Design and Technology Junior Secondary programme will equip learners with knowledge, skills, values and attitudes for manufacturing artefacts. In so doing the learners will be able to contribute to the economic, social and environmental development of their communities and their country in large. The programme will also stimulate their creativity and application of technological knowledge and principles to solve their day to day problems in real life situations.
