The strategic goal for a Tertiary Education behind the expectations of HRDC in Botswana
is to ensure that Batswana have equipped access to quality Tertiary Education system
that are responsive to every element of their personal well-being, social progress and
economic development and which advances to the fullest extent possible their potentials
for learning, their individual capacities, their future aspirations so they can contribute to
the development of a globally connected and prosperous nation (National Human
Resource Development Strategy, 2009-2022).
(b) Over the last decade there has been a new emphasis in developing countries on the
importance of tertiary education for economic and social development, with the
recognition that it is a public good as well as a private benefit. The Government of
Botswana’s Tertiary Education Policy of 2008 assigns the sector a significant role in
promoting the transition from a resource driven economy to a knowledge society.
(c) The constitution of Botswana recognizes the right to religious association in all spheres of
life. This is supported by Botswana’s vision 2016 pillars of a moral and tolerant nation,
and a compassion, just and caring nation (Vision 2016, 1997). That is to say the Vision
recognizes religion as a significant sector for the support and development of the people
of Botswana for transformation of social, moral, ethical, and spiritual values.
(d) Therefore, to fulfil this College mandate, this institution was started. ABC may be a small
institution but we are growing and our Vision for the future is compelling us to plan and
prepare to be a dynamic institution that effectively meets the spiritual and academic
needs of the citizens of Botswana and beyond.
(e) There is proof of the continuing need for the institution and its services. The most
significant evidence of lifelong learning is that ABC graduates are enrolling in Global
University’s degree programme. Over 90% of the 2014 graduates have now enrolled in
the BA degree course offered by Global University (USA), and is facilitated by ABC.
(f) Informally, many graduates are asking for seminars and permission to come back to ABC
and take some of the new courses that are now offered. One evidence that students are
becoming lifelong learners is that our graduates ask to come and use our library.
(g) The General Presbytery (GP) of the Assemblies of God in Botswana, who are also the
“employers” of our graduates have reviewed our programme objectives and constantly
monitors all aspects of our academic programme to ensure that we are producing
servants leader who are transformed to meet the mandate of the church and the
country’s spiritual, psychological, and social uplifting.
(h) ABC makes a and will continue to make a significant contribution towards broadening the
availability of and access to tertiary education in the country. The College stands a good chance of operating successfully and that it will continue to do so independent of publicing funding. This is based on the fact that the College has a long history of operation, since
- Our reputation made the College to reach and stands a good chance of
maintaining high organisational and academic standards.
Keep the Faith,
Rev. P.B. Ntwaetsile (The President)
