Heinemann Botswana launched PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examinations) revision books under their Motheo Series at Cresta Lodge on Tuesday. According to the Publisher of Heinemann Botswana, Margaret Keitheile, the books, which cover seven subjects namely Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, English, Setswana, Agriculture and Religious and Moral Education are user-friendly.
Keitheile added that educationists, all of whom had teaching experience, wrote the books. The authors include Masego Basimanebotlhe and Slumber Ramadi (Science), Dorcus Morake and Oduetse Setlhare (Mathematics), Shadrack Majwabe and Catherine Dinotshe (Social Studies), Sally-Ann (English), Peggy Kololo (Setswana), Kgomotso Mabusa (Agriculture) and Gosaitse Kgathi and Reofilwe Seganabeng (Religious & Moral Education). "All the authors are educationists who have a full grasp of our syllabi," asserted Keiteile.
Each book has tips on how to study effectively, on the first page, after which it follows the syllabus topic by topic. At the end of each module, there are exercises. To prepare pupils for final exams, there is Practice Examination section, which the pupils are expected to attempt before crosschecking the answers in the Answers To Practice Examinations section.
"I encourage parents to buy their children books for subjects that are their problem areas although it would be wise for them to buy the complete set," Ketheile said.
Parents do not need to be concerned about always being there when their children use the books because the way they are designed, a child can use them in the absence of both the teacher and the parent. The publisher says that the revision books are affordable, at P 50 per copy and will soon be available at major bookstores across the country.
