BELIZE- NEW SCHOOL TEACHER PAYMENTS POLICY RESULTS IN 2 POINTS ON THE UDP GOVERNMENT REPORT CARD

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION NEW ANNOUNCED ON FINANCING CULT RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS WORTH 2 POINTS ON APPROVAL RATING REPORT CARD
NEW UDP GOVERNMENT SCORE 49%

In an effort to equalize the distribution of government funds going to pay teacher salaries in all the religious private schools, a new policy by the Ministry of Education is to be implemented on the distribution of teacher funding, for ALL schools throughout the nation of Belize. The new policy is INNOVATIVE and an attempt to answer criticisms on teacher distribution and teacher quality, to schools throughout the nation of Belize. Currently the best religious organized schools with political connections got the best teachers who were more academically qualified with diplomas and such at higher salaries. This has resulted in an unfair concentration of the best teachers and the most teachers in just a few academic institutions. The Government itself has few schools of it´s own and uses the private and religious school system, to encourage the spread of education. About 11,000 children have no school at all in the small country of Belize. How the new policy will work out, it will take about three years to see. On the other hand, the new policy is an honest and fair attempt to right some wrongs in the teacher distribution system throughout the country. For that the Minister of Education gets 2 points on the report card for his UDP Government PARTY.
