Introduction
In 2011, 27 fully localised Botswana General Certificate of Secondary Education (BGCSE) examination syllabuses were available to schools. For other syllabuses such as Christian Religious Education, Additional Mathematics and Statistics, schools offered the General Certificate of Education (GCE) O Level examinations as in previous years.

GCE O level syllabuses are graded on a 6 point scale from A* to E.
