Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Gaborone Institute of Professional Learning (GIPS) has been hailed for enhancing human resource development through their programmes, which also encourages knowledge and skills based education, curbing learners from engaging in anti-social behaviours.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 2019-2022 graduates were commended for all the hard work employed to complete their courses despite the COVID-19 challenges that brought about emotional and mental health problems and other barriers such as distant learning.<\/p>\n

Senior administration officer at the National Assembly, Mr Bonang Morapedi said this while giving the keynote address during GIPS graduation ceremony at the school\u2019s Rivoli Hall in Gaborone on Friday.<\/p>\n

The graduation encompassed the class of 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollege students should never be released into the world until they had been sufficiently sedated, with that being said congratulations to all of you, you have every reason to feel incredibly proud of yourselves for the good job done,\u201d said Mr Morapedi.<\/p>\n

One of the 2020 graduates, Ms Gaone Chiwini appreciated GIPS for offering her a four- year scholarship to study Bachelor of Commerce in Entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was among the eight orphans GIPS identified through the Social and Community Development office.<\/p>\n

My BGCSE results were not good enough to qualify for the DTEF sponsorship and GIPS\u2019 offer hekped me turn over a new leaf of my life.<\/p>\n

I have opened my own construction company,\u201d said Chiwini.<\/p>\n

Apart from going to school and working simultaneously, her family and friends\u2019 support made it possible to pull through and complete her degree.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is my desire to see other organisations following GIPS\u2019 gesture by helping the underprivileged, especially those that did not do well in their BGCSE, whom in most cases failed because of their unfortunate circumstances,\u201d Chiwini said.<\/p>\n

She also urged parents and family members not to lose hope on those that did not excel in their BGCSE, but to give them a chance to explore other options and venture into different career opportunities capable of improving the economic environment of the country at large.<\/p>\n

Managing director for GIPS, Mr Arjinder Pal Singh emphasised that education was about growth and not just grades and therefore the unique qualities that the graduates had been equipped with should make a positive impact on people\u2019s lives and the society at large.<\/p>\n
