EDUCATION...
is not preparation for life; education is life itself. If I had to put in words what’s the essence of the people of Botswana this quote would hit its mark. The students of Ledumang valued learning and the importance of Education so highly favored that it’s the genesis of what B.I.S.C.E.P will become today and preparing our youth for a new tomorrow.
