Abstract	This paper examines the extent to which the Government through the colonial directorate of education contributed to the development of education in Botswana and the efforts made by the Batswana to establish independent schools. It further explores the efforts made by the Government, and the Batswana, to advance womens's education. By 1928... the colonial government took over the control and direction of education by introducing school committees, systematizing the primary school syllabus, regularizing payment and training teachers and introducing cattle post schools. Significant though these efforts were, the Africans were still dissatisfied with the development of education in the country. They sought education that went beyond the primary school level. African and denominational initiatives to build secondary schools within the country were designed to address this need. Perhaps a dark spot in the educational history of the Protectorate is... the apparent disregard by all educational parties concerned to offer anything new for women. Women were regarded as inferior to men and no significant efforts were made to enhance their status, income and role in decision making bodies. (DIPF/Abstract übernommen)
