EDUCATION
The government of Belize is highly committed to the education of its citizens. In its 2011/2012 Budget presentation the Government will continue the implementation of reforms for education financing to ensure more access and equity in the education system, particularly at the secondary school level. Greater emphasis will be placed on teacher education and certification. In addition, a major new focus will be placed on child-care and early childhood education. It is in that context that the child care subsidy is of special importance. It will of course benefit the children directly. But it will also provide time and opportunities for mothers to take up employment and become engaged in income-generation activities, knowing that quality care is being provided for their children.
