BEYOND THE CLASSROOM: HOW THE UNIVERSITY OF BOTSWANA IS REIMAGINING THE FUTURE

As Botswana builds a knowledge-driven economy, the University of Botswana is transforming into a High-Performance Organisation, redefining how higher education contributes to national development.

Botswana's next chapter will not be written by diamonds alone. It will increasingly be shaped by ideas, innovation and the ability of its people to compete in a rapidly changing world.

That, says University of Botswana Vice Chancellor, Professor David Norris, is precisely why the country's premier institution of higher learning is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in its history.

"We are not transforming for the sake of change," says Professor Norris. "We are transforming because Botswana is changing. The University must evolve alongside the nation and respond to its future needs."

At the heart of that evolution is the University's transition into a High-Performance Organisation (HPO), a model designed to foster excellence, innovation, accountability and collaboration across every aspect of the institution.

UB AND UNESCO EXPLORE DIGITAL PATHWAYS FOR BOTSWANA’S CREATIVE ECONOMY

The University of Botswana (UB) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) are exploring opportunities to strengthen Botswana’s creative industries by building local capacity to take cultural content into digital markets and unlock greater economic value for creatives.

The discussions took place on the 27th of August 2026 during a courtesy visit by a UNESCO delegation to UB where the University leadership and UNESCO officials discussed a proposed collaboration focused on capacity building, digital content and the monetisation of creative products.

Welcoming the delegation, UB Vice Chancellor, Professor David Norris, emphasised the importance of partnerships and collaboration in creating an ecosystem capable of turning ideas and knowledge into tangible outcomes. Professor Norris noted that the University already worked closely with UNESCO in several areas especially through the UNESCO Chair in Heritage Studies.
