70% of the children of Belize NEVER finish primary school education!

PRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATION IN BELIZE CONTINUES TO BE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN EDUCATION SINCE COLONIAL TIMES THROUGH 2009.

No government of either political party has succeeded in licking the problems facing the church state, primary school system used in Belize , formerly British Honduras . The latest statistic I read, was that 70% of the children entering PRIMARY school in Belize NEVER FINISH. Primary school in Belize is considered to be the equivalent of Grades 1 to 8 in Canada , or the USA . Our educational system continues to be a failure after 65 years.

While higher education for the advantaged, or those driven to it, has come a long way in Belize . The building blocks, or the foundation of education still languishes in Belize . Why talk about insufficient high schools, or PSE’s when 70 % of ALL BELIZEAN CHILDREN never even finish Standard 6 ( grade 8 ) in this country. Our resources have been going to a privileged class of population.
