  ABSTRACT: 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 21st 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.
