According to the Chairperson of the 50th Anniversary Celebrations committee, Mr Mmoloki Stephen, the objectives were to consider parents\u2019 contributions in building their children and producing a better student.<\/p>\n<p>The other objective was to thank the elders who found education as an overriding inheritance that could not be seized from anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Stephen urged parents to advise pupils to engage in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough STEM, learners develop key skills that promote problem-solving and creativity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>A former pupil, class of 2021 who was a head-boy, Mr Comfort Gopolang commended his former teachers for going an extra mile by offering tutorials on Saturdays.<\/p>\n<p>He observed that successful study groups were formed and this made learning easy.<\/p>\n<p>He urged the learners to \u2018hold on to the ladder of success\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
