2nd Botswana Educational Research Association (BERA) Conference

Botswana Educational Research Association (BERA) is pleased to announce its 2025 conference which will be held from 4th to 5th December 2025 at the University of Botswana, Gaborone. The conference is intended to provide a platform for researchers, policy makers and relevant stakeholders to discuss, exchange ideas and views pertaining to issues that are critical to education in Botswana and beyond. Botswana’s education faces a multiplicity of challenges that compromise its ability to be responsive to the labour market needs of the country. It is therefore judicious to reimagine and recognize an education that would play a pivotal role in the development of a modern, knowledge-based economy that supports diversity and inclusivity. Advances in technology, the changing demands of the workplace and industry and the kind of learner and the learning environment of the 21st century demand an education that is relevant, responsive, and impactful. The Organizing Committee of BERA invites submissions for the conference under the theme, ‘Reimagining and Revitalizing Education: Navigating Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities’.

Conference Themes:

  1. Emerging Trends and Global Perspectives in Education
  2. Decolonizing the Curriculum
  3. Equity and Inclusion in Education
  4. The Future of Work and Skills Development

 

Venue: University of Botswana

Date: 4th to 5th December 2025
