“…Studies of Africa have frequently shown the prevalence of weak and failed/failing states (Bah, 2012). As a consequence, most of such countries experience huge corruption and misappropriation of public funds (Atuobi, 2007;Ojo, 2018). Failing state governance systems were experienced in countries such as Eritrea, Malawi, Cameroon, Uganda and Sierra Leone when central governments became weak, and governments failed to raise revenue.…”

A school is the only place with a formal and legitimate mandate of duty of care for the learner. Schools are expected to be nurturing environments free of abuse, exploitation, violence, bullying, humiliation, discrimination, harassment, negligence, cultural stereotypes, emotional distress, socio-economic marginalisation and moral prejudices. Some concerns about governance and ethical leadership in schools are therefore inevitable. Drawing from the Eurocentric and Afrocentric theoretical perspectives, this article discusses lapses of ethical leadership practices in Botswana with a deliberate focus on school leadership systems. Secondary data is drawn from the media and government reported cases on the growing systemic social decadence. It is argued that unethical conduct in the education system in the country is heightened by lack of an Africanized ethical code of conduct for educators and doubledipping by the public officers. The article recommends an indigenized research approach on ethical leadership and governance.
