The Government of Belize has decided to invest in skills for the future

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology (MOECST) is investing in educating the future generation of Belize with green skills, and preparing them for quality jobs with career development opportunities

Greetings from the Minister of Education, Culture, Science, and Technology

"We are making progress with the creation of a first of its kind high school in our region that will be focused on STEAM education, that is, on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. We are working closely with education experts from the IDB and consultants from MIT, the world’s preeminent technology university, to establish this ultra-modern high school. I am certain that Belizeans will be very proud of this new institution and that it will have a transformative effect on our high school system as teachers from across."

Hon. Francis Fonseca

Minister of Education, Culture, Science and Technology
