And the media also asked the minister about those students affected by the flooding, especially in the Belize River Valley area. He said that the ministry has had to suspend some classes, but that they're working with schools to draft an individualized plan as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach.
Francis Fonseca, Minister of Education
"There's an ongoing discussion about that. As you now, the ministry, when it was required, we cancelled classes, we postponed classes. But yes we're looking at all of those alternatives, in those cases we work very closely with the managements, we work with the principals of those schools, because we don't want to do any general policy, it has to be targeted. Certain schools are affected in a manner, in a much more substantive way than others so we address it in a school by school basis but yes we are working with all those affected schools in those communities, especially in the River Valley right now, especially to address those where students are not able to go to school, to come up with an alternative plan."
