The Ministry of Education and Skills Development is pleased to present the revised junior secondary school syllabuses. This marks a major milestone towards the attainment of quality education in Botswana. The revised syllabuses signals another major milestone in the attainment of the ideals reflected in the Revised National Policy on Education and brings closer the realization of the aspirations reflected in Vision 2016. The publication of these syllabuses is also a deliberate effort to provide accessible quality education for the creation of an educated labour force. It has been observed that countries with superior education systems are also the most economically successful. Thus, high quality education is seen as a vital pre-requisite in increasing productivity and competitiveness leading to national growth and development and subsequently, a higher standard of living for all citizens.

The revised junior secondary syllabuses come at a time of unprecedented knowledge explosion, technological changes, a fluid socio-economic context and an increasingly interdependent regional and global economy. In this age of global competitiveness, it is important that all countries foster human resources by developing requisite competencies among young people. Survival in this millennium depends on the ability to effectively accommodate and manage change, and to adapt to the changing socio- economic and cultural plains. It is the wish of the Ministry of Education and Skills Development to prepare young Batswana for future growth and adaptation to ongoing changes in the socio-economic context.

The learners are exposed to a range of knowledge and foundation skills such as numeracy, literacy, prevocational and problem solving skills. It also focuses on the development of desirable attitudes towards different types of work, social and moral values that are expected of them at the end of the program.

TOPIC 1: HUMAN RIGHTS
