Gwen Lizarraga High School formally reopened its classrooms to approximately three hundred and thirty-five students across all forms on Monday morning, officially kicking off the academic calendar for 2018.  The start of a new school year, however, is not without the requisite housekeeping.  News Five understands that a meeting was held on the same day to determine the way forward in respect of the lopsided student/teacher ratio, considering poor enrollment this go-round.  While a number has still not been confirmed, the Ministry of Education, along with the Belize National Teachers Union, agrees that the faculty will be cut down in the days ahead.  This process would allow for a reduction in the number of teachers currently employed at the institution.  According to B.N.T.U. National President Elena Smith, the restructuring would commence with a non-renewal of expired teaching licenses.
