And while those big end of year hurdles are out of the way - for most
parents and teachers the stress is the start of the year. How the heck
do you give young students meaningful instruction at home? Well, for
Primary school students there will be guidance for distance learning in
the form of printed material. Here's how the Chief Education officer
explained it:
Cecilia Smith - Deputy Chief Education Officer
"Our primary medium that we are suggesting, we are asking schools to get
that information out, is through print resources because that is the way we
know it will reach to all corners of Belize but where there are cases where
they can engage them in using some means of technology, that can be used to
compliment the print material that they have."
Carol Babb - Chief Education Officer
"I have learnt, some schools will have a pickup box, where parents are
expected to pick up assignments and so the parents, the teachers will
communicate with students and tell parents you can pick up the home
packages at a certain area and then teachers and parents are expected to
return it back at a certain time so that teachers can mark the papers and
provide feedback on the areas that the students need to improve on."
