Learning that meets Botswana students where they are.
Pasalenna was built so that every JCE and BGCSE student — in Gaborone, Maun or a village school — can study with the same quality of guidance, whatever their family can afford.
The problem we solve
Most students revising for JCE and BGCSE are handed a stack of past papers and left to work alone. Private tuition, which fills that gap, costs hundreds of pula a month and is simply out of reach for the majority of families. The result is capable students underperforming, not because they cannot learn, but because nobody is walking them through it.
Why we created Pasalenna
Pasalenna is more than a past paper archive. It is a structured learning path: lessons broken into topics, quizzes that show you exactly what you have not mastered, flashcards for recall, revision papers with marking schemes, and a real teacher you can ask when you are stuck — all on the phone already in your pocket, and priced so that a month of learning costs less than a single tuition session.
Our mission
To make high-quality, curriculum-aligned learning affordable and accessible to every secondary school student in Botswana.
Our vision
A Botswana where exam results reflect a student's effort and potential — never their postcode or their parents' income.
Our story
Pasalenna started with a simple observation: students were sharing photographs of past papers in WhatsApp groups late at night, with nobody to explain the answers. We began by organising that content properly — subject by subject, topic by topic — then added quizzes, progress tracking and a way to ask a teacher directly. What began as a revision folder grew into a full learning platform used by students preparing for both Junior Certificate and BGCSE.
