Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>BOTHO University Lesotho will move to its new campus in Ha-Abia, Pena-Pena, in June next year. At the moment, the university is located at the Maseru Mall.<\/p>\n

The university\u2019s management told stakeholders at a meeting in Maseru yesterday that M73 million has been set aside for the construction of the Maseru campus.<\/p>\n

The details of the move are contained in the university\u2019s Sustainability and Social Impact Report of 2022. The yet to be built campus will have suitable classrooms that will suit the students and the collaborative setting.<\/p>\n

Botho Vice-Chancellor Dr Sheela Raja Ram said it is an honour to celebrate nine years of existence in Lesotho. \u201cBotho has over 2 000 students and 100 staff members,\u201d Dr Raja Ram said, adding that they are hoping to have five more job opportunities and more students.<\/p>\n

She said 97 percent of Botho Alumni who have joined the workforce are doing exceptionally well in their different work environments. Dr Raja Ram said they have experienced considerable growth in Lesotho and they have empowered 97 percent of their alumni to start businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have told us that their time at the university was worthwhile,\u201d she said. Botho University began operations in Botswana 26 years ago and is registered in four more countries which are Lesotho, Namibia, eSwatini and Uganda.<\/p>\n

Next year, the university will be completing full 10 years of existence in Lesotho. \u201cThe greatest thing we had acquired in Lesotho is that we found new land,\u201d Dr Raja Ram said.<\/p>\n

For her, the dramatic statistics showed that the students were happy with the knowledge that they had acquired at the university. \u201cNinety percent of our graduates were so thrilled about their results at Botho,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Dr Raja Ram said they are a digitised university that works with technology to produce tech-savvy graduates. At the height of Covid-19 pandemic, the university had to completely switch to online learning.<\/p>\n

The classes were done on online platforms through the help of technology. No student missed lectures and everything moved smoothly, Dr Raja Ram said. Botho Pro Vice-Chancellor, External Relations and Lesotho Campus, Golekanye Setume, said the students have to learn freely.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a digital university and we use powerful systems which are digitised,\u201d Setume said. He said the university produces vibrant students where 97 percent of their graduates will recommend others to them.<\/p>\n
