Botswana PSLE English case studies

The Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE) is a national examination administered by the Botswana Examinations Council (BEC), the body mandated under section 5 of the Botswana Examinations Council Act (Act No 11 of 2002) as amended by the Botswana Examinations Amendment Act, 2019 to manage, conduct examinations and assessments in general education and to award certificates in respect of the said examinations and assessments. The PSLE sits at the end of primary schooling and is taken by Standard 7 learners as they prepare to move into junior secondary education. BEC publishes PSLE administration information, PSLE reports, assessment material and a list of PSLE examination centres, and results are released through the PSLE Results Summary on the BEC website. The English component of the PSLE tests the literacy skills built across the primary years: reading comprehension, vocabulary and language use, punctuation and grammar, and extended writing. The Botswana PSLE English case studies are 5 cases and about 1,996 words.
