For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ There is good news for forty plus teachers at Roman Catholic primary schools in the west. Following a meeting around two p.m., between management, the Teaching Services Commission and the Ministry of Education, classes are to resume as per normal on Monday. Since Wednesday, we’ve reported that the teachers at the Mount Carmel RC showed up to school, but not classes following a letter sent from the Teaching Services Commission indicating that a career teacher of twenty-nine years was to be removed from the classroom. That, as well as the non-payment of salaries to a number of teachers triggered the sit out. The school enjoys the full support of parents and late this afternoon, following a demonstration through the streets of Benque earlier today; all parties reached an agreement, bringing an end to the week-long protest. News Five’s Duane was in the west this morning and reports on the demonstration.
