Chief Education Officer in the Ministry of Education, Dian Maheia, was asked today about Guatemalan children who study in Belize. For the better part of two years, these students have been learning remotely and even though classes resumed to hybrid learning this semester, the process of getting them back into the classroom setting is not as simple. Some two hundred and twenty-four primary school students from Guatemala are enrolled at the Mount Carmel R.C. School in Benque, and there are others in neighbouring high schools as well. C.E.O. Maheia explains the associated health concerns, and how the ministry is ensuring that these students are not disenfranchised.
