The Contribution of Real Estate Training Providers in Botswana 2011-2022

The contribution of universities as engines of knowledge is measured by the number of graduates and their research output. Previous studies in Botswana focused on the number of programmes offered, but little is known about the number of locally produced graduates and the amount of research output by each real estate (RE) school. This study seeks to bridge this knowledge gap through interviews and document analysis. This study was qualitative in nature, based on a case study of three RF tertiary education and training providers in Botswana, the Gaborone University College of Law and Professional Studies (GUC), the BA ISAGO University (BIU) and the University of Botswana (UB). An archival approach was adopted and documents were accessed online from the websites of the Botswana Qualifications Authority (BQA), the Human Resources Development Council (HRDC) and the three aforementioned universities . RE schools in Botswana have played a critical role in knowledge creation and dissemination. However, a lot more needs to be done on postgraduate research programmes and for graduates. An increase in postgraduate programmes and students can also have a direct impact on the increase in research publications
