Epworth Methodist Primary School Doing MORE for Education

It’s been over a year since the Ministry of Education kicked off its More campaign, urging everyone to go the extra mile to make education in Belize truly shine. Schools are being challenged to be more creative, digital, inclusive, healthy, and involved. Just this week, Minister of Education Francis Fonseca gave a special shoutout to Methodist Primary School in Dangriga for their amazing contributions to the More initiative. Students there have been getting creative in sewing, art, and music clubs, and they’re also making a real difference in their community through the school’s environmental club. Here’s more on their inspiring efforts.

“ You know my friends, were here in Dangriga. Before I came over here to the library. We stopped in at Epworth Methodist Primary School to recognize them and celebrate their success. They’ve been doing a lot of good work in the community. They’re a part of our, what we call the MORE campaign, right? We launched a MORE campaign at the Ministry of Education about a year ago. And the objective of that campaign was really to inspire and encourage and really, you know, get the message out  our education community more involved in the work of our communities and our nation. So we wanted, the challenge was for everyone in education to do more and be more for education in Belize. And so we’re very, very proud to go over to Epworth Methodists and to acknowledge the work that they have been doing in their community in terms of education.”
