On Wednesday University of Belize Student Government President Moses Sulph
called the media to a press conference where he made public a demand for an
increase in the government’s subvention. In a press release today the
Ministry of Education says that UB will get the additional one point five million
dollars promised by the last administration.
In addition – the release says that the University’s new board
is working closely with the administration on a three year development plan
for UB. The board is also reviewing audits and cost analysis. It closed by noting
that while UB is the national university – it is not the only school in
the country and with half of the high school-aged population not in school –
the priority has to be on primary and secondary levels.
It also reminds students that at $90 per credit hour – a degree at UB
is still the best deal around.
