Im realy surprised at the untrue statements in this article!!! First of Old Naledi is not a village, it is a residential area in the city of Gaborone, second of all, every student is provided with stationery (they wont have it if they have lost it), and textbooks are given free of charge to every student in Botswana by the Botswana Government!! I dont doubt that you saw students wearing the same outfit daily, ITS CALLED A SCHOOL UNIFORM!!!! every school in Botswana has one so that all students have some sort of equality irrespective of their economic background. Please dont write misleading pieces about our country, as much as we are a third world country, that doesnt give you the right to over exaggerate our circumstances, our learnng institutions may not be as comfortable as yours but they are not so bad and the education provided is of very good standards. You may have been given the wrong information, but next time please research thoroughly.
