Abstract	This paper discusses how San children for decades resisted Botswana educational system silently in various ways. San education has been an issue of debate amongst researchers for decades. There have been obstacles that made San children not to achieve educational goals despite the fact that educational authorities were aware of it. The paper used secondary data from research papers on San educational issues. The researchers used the qualitative approach and data collection tools such as open ended questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations and focus group discussions. The findings indicated that indeed San education was marred by problems such as poor hostel conditions, language barrier, communication problems, use of corporal punishment and a culture that is alien to theirs, and in response they resisted the type of education offered in various ways. The conclusion is that appropriate remedies have to be provided such as a suitable educational policy that is inclusive.
