Educational Programmes for Botswana
The Ministry of Education in Botswana is engaged in a project which
seeks to establish educational television in the country. The target
is to have the launch of the new service by the last quarter of 2010.
Television is still relatively new in Botswana, with Botswana
Television only launched in July 2000. The educational programmes will
be broadcast through the current Botswana Television channel before a
dedicated educational channel is established.
The new Educational Television service will acquire programmes through
Commissioning, In-house productions and purchasing of programmes from
established broadcasters and producers. They request sample programmes
to look at with a view to considering them for purchasing for the new
service. If you are able to be of assistance, please contact Project
Coordinator, Mr Kgopotso Ramoroka: KRamoroka@gov.bw
