For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ Day-one of a teachers’ protest at Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Primary School in Benque Viejo Del Carmen occurred today in that western municipality. The sit-out by the forty-one teachers at the institution threatens to leave nine hundred and thirty-plus students out of classes for the remainder of the week, which is used primarily as review week in the run-up to exams. At the core of the protest is a number of teachers not being paid and an order to remove a career educator from the classroom, among other issues. According to the teaching staff, there appears to be a breakdown in communication between the Roman Catholic management and the Teaching Services Commission, but it is not known where the system is failing those affected. News Five’s Duane Moody headed out west to find answers. Here’s his report.
