Because all schools have the same curriculum and doing the same PSE at the end, the competition is only in school fees and religious affiliation (Adventist, Catholics etc.) The Religion is complete over weighted and there is no separation between religion and education.

In general the education Level in Belize is very low.
Standard six is a repetition from standard five, to prepare the children for the PSE. First Form High school, is more ore less a repetition of standard five and six, to reach the same level of education at the end of the first year in high school.

Sad but true, a standard five student can solve without hassle all the mathematics from the First Form High school math book.

If a child later like to study in the States or Europe, it needs at least 6 months to catch up with the higher standards.
