Caves are empty spaces inside the rocks, they have an entrance that allows communication with the surface and dimensions such that human entry is possible. Each cave can be completely or partially filled with sediments, that is, with materials brought there mainly by the erosion of rocks, by water or ice. When caves present a complex development – such as a combination of vertical shafts and horizontal chambers – they constitute cave systems.
The shape and size of caves varies greatly due to a large number of factors related to the structure and composition of the rock, the geometry of the cracks it presents, the relief of the area in which it is located, the hydrological conditions and many other factors of lesser importance.

Austrian philosopher and scientist Rudolf Steiner established the Waldorf educational approach in 1919. The basis of Waldorf education lies in Anthroposophy’s belief that humans have a body, soul, and spirit that develop over time. Steiner believed that education must nurture these facets collectively to shape holistic individuals capable of making innovative and empathetic contributions to society.
The main emphasis of the Waldorf philosophy is on a student-focused method, adjusting the curriculum to meet the distinct developmental needs of children at different stages of life. Learning in education focuses on arts, movement, storytelling, and nature, offering a hands-on and experiential educational experience. This contrasts with conventional, exam-driven educational methods, as Waldorf seeks to develop emotional intelligence, creativity, and social awareness, in addition to intellectual skills.
This ebook contains all the necessary information about the principles, philosophy, and various stages of the Waldorf Curriculum. It also describes the subjects and assessments of it.
Education in Botswana is free, but it is not compulsory. The Ministry of Education has authority over all of Botswana’s educational structure except the University of Botswana.

However, educational curricula incorporate prevocational preparation in the junior and senior secondary schools.
The building’s design aligned with Vision 2036 for Botswana’s economic development and the United Nations SDG 4: Quality Education.
The objective of the BCF is to offer a thorough educational program focused on developing skills, to ready students for a world that is always evolving and connected. It is created to help students succeed academically and enhance necessary skills for personal growth, job opportunities, and participation in community affairs.
This ebook is a complete manual for teachers aiming to acquaint themselves with the Botswana curriculum.
