B.N.T.U. Holds Expo in Punta Gorda

As you heard a while ago, the P.C.C launched volume two of the summary of the constitution on Saturday in Punta Gorda. The commission took advantage of another event to introduce the book. The Belize National Teachers’ Union held an expo in Punta Gorda to deal with issues affecting teachers. Chairman of the P.C.C, Anthony Chanona told News Five that the commission also took advantage of the B.N.T.U.’s spread across the country. There are over six thousand teachers in Belize, and Chanona says that through the assistance of the B.N.T.U. and the expo, the P.C.C has now reached out to over five thousand of those teachers.

 

Anthony Chanona, Chairman, P.C.C

“The P.C.C in its collective wisdom of its 23 member organizations felt that the best way to begin was to educate.  And we looked at the Belize National Teachers Union. A body of over 6, 000 teachers spread across this nation  as the place to start. That was the beachhead  under which we would launch our public outreach campaign.  And so we started up north  with over 1, 500 teachers. We went west, Sacred Heart College, with another 1, 100 teachers. And then we brought the teachers from the south. To Toledo. And we met here in Punta Gorda  with another 1500 teachers. In all, we have reached out to over 5, 000 teachers of our country.”
