ESTM Expanding Rapidly
Fri, January 19, 2018
Escuela Secundaria Technica Mexico in San Roman village is a fast growing school in the Corozal District. The total enrollment has increased by 51% in the past 10 years.

And to accommodate their 200 third form students they've been using temporary structures for certain subject areas.

Now, they've gotten a brand new building from the Social Investment Fund - which was handed over today.

The Principal told us more:

Principal
"Well we just inaugurated a building with 6 classrooms which we will be able to accommodate our entire 3rd form. That means we have freed up some space where we can double the space for the home economics, have an art gallery, a gymnasium, and a room for the student government to meet."

Hon. Angel Campos
"The ministry of education has done a study where the classrooms are needed in Belize. Here in Escuela Mexico we have an ever expanding influx of student here from around the different communities here in Corozal southwest and Corozal with orange walk as a whole. The chairman of the board of management here even mentioned that he has a couple students from down south as well so Escuela Mexico is getting a fame where they are giving quality education in vocational technical areas and a lot of people are coming here to study."

Hon. Erwin Contreras
"The majority of funds are going to 2 districts, Corozal and Toledo. This is just one of projects we are doing today. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Escuela Mexico whom have been doing a fantastic job. We will also have other schools to be inaugurated. Maybe I can also share that the orange walk technical will be habilitated, funds have been approved and also there will be new construction at Louisiana School in Orange Walk as well."

The school is celebrating its 35 anniversary AND RECENTLY TOPPED THE CARIBBEAN IN AGRICULTURE AND VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL STUDIES.
