%X Highlighting the importance of concepts of professionalism and work ethics
in agricultural education in Botswana before and after the country achieved its
independence is crucial in the education system. The purpose of this study is to
explore the concept of professionalism and work ethics in the history of teaching
and learning of agriculture in Botswana. The paper focuses on using the discussions
raised in agricultural education development capturing the period prior to 1966
(Bechuanaland protectorate), and immediately after 1966 to the period of the 21<sup>st</sup> century. Professionalism and work ethics in agricultural education provides an analysis
on growth and progress in the profession. It can be safely argued that different
stakeholders who were instrumental in revolutionizing the evolution of agricultural
education in Botswana needed to integrate professionalism and work ethics in the
program.
