| description | The purpose of the study was to explore gender experiences of Home economics professionals in Botswana educational institutions with the aim of presenting argument against this colonial mentality that still lingers in the education system of Botswana and result in Home economics teachers suffering professional indignity in schools and colleges. In Botswana. Home economics teachers do not easily progress to senior positions like other subject teachers do. However they always find themselves overloaded with both domestic and public activities. This situation prevents them from being fully and effectively productive in their day-to-day duties. The researcher of the paper is a Home economics teacher, first in secondary school and now in colleges of education. She has a first-hand experience of this indignity and it is this frustration that sparked her to do so much research and create a correct image of this long neglected or down trodden noble subject. |
