Abstract

Using the METRECC survey, this study analyzes Botswana’s computing education in secondary schools as it evolves between 2021 and 2025. Persistent resource challenges, limited professional development, and slow curriculum growth remain obstacles. Teachers report overall confidence, though some doubts persist. These findings inform improvement in low and middle income contexts.
