Following the pronouncement by President Advocate Duma Boko on EIMC’s mandatory national assignment to transform public education infrastructure, there is renewed national momentum to address conditions that impede learning and the provision of safe, dignified public school environments.

EIMC’s reform agenda is being actively supported and accelerated through close collaboration with key stakeholders. The EIMC Executive Management Team recently met with the Reforms Unit in the Office of the President, which has demonstrated strong commitment to ensuring urgency, alignment, and the removal of bottlenecks that have historically constrained delivery.

This partnership is central to fast-tracking the operationalisation of EIMC’s mandate. Through this coordinated approach, EIMC is advancing reforms aimed at improving efficiency, accountability, and delivery at scale.

EIMC is committed to efficiently delivering across the full infrastructure value chain, including:

• Infrastructure development
• Lifecycle asset management
• Non-teaching support services
• Digitisation of systems and processes
• Innovative financing mechanisms to ensure sustainable future funding of public-school infrastructure

The urgency of this work is underscored by the current state of public schools, which necessitated the establishment of EIMC.

We look forward to continued engagement with our valued stakeholders, including community leaders, PTAs, alumni, teachers, school principals, parents, and partners across the education ecosystem, to ensure the successful delivery and sustainability of public school infrastructure for the future.

Vandalism in Our Schools Is Not Just Damage to Property — It Is Damage to Our Future

As we continue touring schools during our management takeover at the Education Infrastructure and Management Company - EIMC, one clear and urgent theme continues to emerge: the need for stronger community partnership in preventing vandalism.

Every broken window.
Every stolen tap.
Every classroom desk set alight.

This is not merely infrastructure being destroyed — it is opportunity.

Schools are not just government property. They are national assets. They are community investments. They are sacred spaces where the next generation is shaped and prepared for the future.

When schools are vandalised, “the system” does not suffer in isolation.
Our children do.

Scarce resources that should fund new classrooms, digital tools, and improved facilities are instead redirected toward avoidable repairs. Progress slows. Momentum is lost.

The cost of vandalism is not only financial.
It erodes morale.
It disrupts learning.
It normalises a culture of disregard for shared responsibility.

We cannot aspire to build a prosperous nation while tolerating the destruction of the very institutions meant to uplift us.

Addressing this challenge requires collective ownership:
• Parents reinforcing values at home.
• Communities actively protecting local schools.
• Leaders ensuring accountability.
• Young people recognising that short-term actions carry long-term consequences.

Infrastructure development requires significant investment. Maintenance requires discipline. Rebuilding after vandalism is entirely avoidable.

As we embark on the journey of refurbishing schools, we look forward to partnering with PTAs, alumni, parents, and learners to drive awareness and foster a shared commitment to protecting our schools. These are national assets that must remain intact for future generations to benefit.

Let us protect what we have built.
Let us safeguard the spaces where futures are formed. Safeguarding our schools is safeguarding our nation’s future.

For decades, the way we think about school infrastructure has been relatively simple: government allocates money, contractors build brick-and-mortar classrooms, and the system moves on to the next project. But across much of the world, this traditional model is increasingly proving too slow, too expensive, and too limited to meet the growing demand for quality learning environments.

Botswana is no exception.

If we are serious about ensuring that every child has access to a safe and functional place to learn, we must rethink not only how we build schools, but also how we finance them. This is precisely the opportunity that the Education Infrastructure and Management Company (EIMC) presents.

At its core, EIMC represents a shift from a narrow, government-only funding model to a modern financing platform that brings together public resources, private capital, development partners, and philanthropic donors.

In other words, the future of education infrastructure will not be financed by a single actor; it will be financed by partnerships.

I would like to sincerely thank the Minister for availing time (even during the holidays) to learn more about the Education Infrastructure and Management Company - EIMC as a new 🇧🇼 Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) and to explore how his office can support its work.

We look forward to further engagements and collaboration in advancing Botswana’s educational infrastructure and ensuring that our learners have access to modern, well-maintained learning environments.

Happy Easter Holidays!

As we celebrate this special season, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful Easter filled with peace, renewal, and meaningful moments of connection with family and friends.

May this time bring rest, reflection, and hope to all.

Chandada Masendu-Kusane
Chief Executive Officer

The Board and executive Management recently convened for a 2-day strategy session focused on strengthening the delivery of modern, well-maintained learning environments for Botswana’s children.

The deliberations centred on governance, strategic partnerships, and sustainable funding models for school infrastructure development. As we continue to work towards modernizing and improving public school facilities, aligning our vision and priorities remains essential to delivering lasting impact.

Through strong collaboration between the Board and Management, we reaffirm our shared commitment to building safe, inclusive, and future-ready learning environments that support quality education across Botswana.

Together, we are laying the foundation for schools that build the next generation of learners.

Our Board of Directors; Mr. Tebogo Sebego, Ms.Leah Uananisa, Mr. Sanga Namoshe, Ms. Segametsi Sethantsho and Mr. Thato Norman paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Child Welfare and Basic Education, Hon. Nono Kgafela-Mokoka, as part of ongoing stakeholder engagements to strengthen collaboration in improving school infrastructure across the country.

The Minister highlighted several areas of school infrastructure that require immediate attention, emphasizing the importance of timely upkeep, safe learning environments, and modern facilities that support quality education. She expressed her full support for the work of the Education Infrastructure and Management Company (EIMC) and underscored the need to ensure that schools are not only well maintained but also designed to meet the demands of modern education. This includes the development of state-of-the-art classrooms that can accommodate STEAM learning, enabling students to engage with science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics in environments that foster innovation, creativity, and practical learning.

The EIMC Board Chair, Tebogo Sebego, reaffirmed the Board’s commitment to supporting the successful implementation of EIMC’s mandate and ensuring strong governance and strategic oversight. The Board emphasized its role in guiding the institution to deliver agile, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the public education sector.

The discussion also touched on the importance of sustainable maintenance systems, improved infrastructure management, and the integration of technology and modern learning tools in school environments to better prepare learners for the future.

The engagement reflects a shared commitment between the Ministry and EIMC to work collaboratively toward creating safe, modern, and inspiring learning spaces that will benefit students, educators, and communities across Botswana.
