By Zoila Palma: During this morning’s segment of Open Your Eyes, Prime Minister John Briceno said that his administration continues to find ways for Belizean families to have more money in their pockets.
The PM explained that the rising cost of fuel that also contributes to higher cost of living is due to ongoing global issues including the war in Iran.
However, his administration continues to find ways to assist families and one of those is with Free education and education assistance programs.
“80% of students high school, UB get some kind of assistance,” the PM said.
In addition, the Prime Minister explained that Minister of Education Francis Fonseca has introduced a new portal.
“Minister Fonseca set up a portal for educational assistance so you can apply and get assistance through that portal based on need. So, now you don’t have to go to your area rep for assistance,” the PM added.
This is significant because culturally throughout successive Governments, families would visit the offices of their respective Area Representatives multiple times to request or obtain education assistance.
