Higher education in Botswana — every university and college in the national report, with students and graduates.

The 43 higher-education institutions in the report

23 public and 20 private, grouped by the report's own categories and largest first within each. 37 of them are on the Botswana Qualifications Authority's register of higher-education providers. The report has enrolment tables for 43 higher-education institutions — universities, colleges of education, health sciences institutes, technical colleges and private colleges. The brigades and vocational training centres (TVET), which it counts separately, are not listed here.

Students are the total the report prints for each institution for each academic year, as the institution reported it. For 2022/23 the institutions' totals, added up by type of institution, match the report's own summary (except that the private colleges and institutes come to 1 student more); earlier years have no summary to check them against, and in a few places an institution's printed total isn't the sum of its programme rows. “—” means the report prints no figure for that year — not zero.

Graduates are the totals the report prints for each institution, by the year students completed. The 2022 column is what the report calls its 2023 graduates: students who passed their final examinations in the last semester of 2021/22 and graduated in 2022/23. Added up by type of institution it matches the report's own table, except that the private colleges and institutes come to 2 graduates more and the health sciences institutes and nursing schools come to 32 graduates fewer. A blank cell in the report is shown as “—”, never as zero.

43 institutions have a page of their own. The report's list of higher-education institutions also names AFDA Botswana, which has no table of figures in it. An institution is matched to BQA's register only where the names agree; where they don't, it shows no BQA entry and the register's row is listed separately below.
