And while Education Minister Faber conceded that the cost of living is going
up, he said that the Ministry is also working to lower training costs for teachers.
And in that regard, another door to tertiary education was opened today as Belizeans
will now be able to earn a degree from Bridgewater State University in Boston
while still living in Belize.
Today Minister Faber and officials from Bridgewater State University signed
a four year student exchange agreement. Under the program, Belizean students
will be able to enrol in Bridgewater State’s undergraduate and graduate
degree programs. The courses will be offered on site in Belize
In August, Bridgewater State will accept 5 Belizean students in the program.
And in exchange in January of 2011, Belize will accept 5 Bridgewater State students
for a 4 to 8 week internship in a Belizean primary school.
