For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ On Monday night, sixty-five of the eighty plus students at the Claver College Extension in Punta Gorda staged a peaceful demonstration at the campus. The adult continuing education institution has been at the centre of controversy, following the termination of ninety percent of its teaching staff last Tuesday. Replacement teachers have since been hired and classes were to resume on October first at five-thirty p.m. But instead of entering the classrooms, majority of the students chanted outside; clamouring for the reinstatement of the old staff, some of whom have been with the institution for over a decade. Among those terminated is former staff rep, Vanna Noralez. Earlier today, News Five spoke with her via phone and she says that the students will continue its protest tonight.
