Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Teachers are the creators of every profession and have produced people of admirable stature, says President Dr Mokgweetsi Masisi.<\/b><\/p>\n

Addressing pupils at Tshwaragano Primary School in Gaborone yesterday, President Masisi assured pupils that government would do everything in its power to ensure that their journey in education was successful.<\/p>\n

President Masisi said government would assist parents in ensuring that they provided for their children\u2019s education as well as engaging dedicated teachers to impart knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to ensure that you get education and grow well. As we do our part, we also appeal to you to do your part,\u201d said President Masisi.<\/p>\n

He also appealed to learners to maintain a high degree of discipline and to assist each other learn.<\/p>\n

He added that education was meant to empower them to become responsible adults who would work for themselves and their country.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must actively engage in building your nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President Masisi also advised Tshwaragano learners to take their education seriously and to be thankful for residing in a country that had maintained the rule of law and where there was peace and tranquility in spite of their colour, race, social orientation or disability.<\/p>\n

President Masisi also advised pupils to get guidance from the National Anthem as it stated that the land that they lived in was theirs and that they must stay united as they had been bestowed with peace and order.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a united people and we do not segregate one another based on physical structure or colour.<\/p>\n

This land is a gift from God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLearn the National Anthem.<\/p>\n

Allow its message into your heart so that it can be a guiding principle in your life.<\/p>\n

Grow into responsible men and women,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President Masisi also lectured pupils against violence.<\/p>\n

He said the boy child must understand that violence against women was wrong and must be condemned.<\/p>\n

He said the girl child must equally desist from engaging in violent behaviour that would perpetuate gender-based violence.<\/p>\n

He also appealed to the learners to desist from anti-social behaviour, adding that cohabitation was one of the concerns as young girls moved out of their homes to stay with their male partners before marriage.<\/p>\n

He said the practice was marred by negative consequences.<\/p>\n

He advised pupils to stay under the protection and guidance of their parents until they got married and started their own families.<\/p>\n

He also advised them against corruption.<\/p>\n

Dr Masisi said people must get education and employment before engaging in relationships.<\/p>\n

To the girl child, President Masisi advised that they must enjoy their youthful years and use them to prepare for a better future.<\/p>\n

He said they must avoid engaging in sexual relations as that would result in unplanned pregnancies and becoming mothers at a young age.<\/p>\n

President Masisi, a teacher by profession, assured pupils that his passion for teaching would never diminish and that he would organise time to teach one of the classes in the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will get a class and teach. I do not doubt myself. I know how to teach,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President Masisi also informed pupils that the day was earmarked as International Women\u2019s Day and urged the male learners to celebrate the day by looking after their \u2018sisters\u2019.<\/p>\n

Welcoming President Masisi and his delegation to the school, Hope Thobukwe, a Standard Seven pupil, said it was a privilege and honour to have the first citizen as their visitor.<\/p>\n

Hope said education was one of the top priorities of government and that the learners at the school would rally behind him by supporting his vision of taking Botswana towards the aspired dream of a knowledge-based economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our school we have moved digital because through your government\u2019s initiative, wi-fi has been installed and it helps us a lot in the learning and teaching process,\u201d said Hope.<\/p>\n
