Ministry of Education dispatches officers to Wesley Upper following reports of bullying

Posted: Tuesday, May 9, 2023. 4:30 pm CST.

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Today, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology (MoECST) issued a statement saying that it “is deeply saddened by the recent bullying reports concerning a special needs student of Wesley Upper School in Belize City.”

The Ministry says that its Special Education Unit (SpEd) has dispatched officers to Wesley Upper School to conduct an initial assessment of the incident and to arrange a special education sensitisation session with the teachers and administrators of the institution.

“While these reports are distressing, they highlight the need to improve awareness of special education needs among all stakeholders in education and build the capacity of teachers, parents and the SpEd Unit to support students with special education needs,” the Ministry added.

Teachers, parents and students are encouraged to use the resources offered through the Inclusion Corner on 501academy by visiting www.501academy.edu.bz/the-inclusion-corner.

The Inclusion Corner is a targeted effort of SpEd Unit to assist anyone who wants to be more inclusive.

Teachers are also encouraged to join the Teachers 4 Teachers (T4T) inclusive teaching community through which they will have access to support from other teachers and the SpEd Unit and engage in discussion on how to create inclusive learning environments that support all students. The link to join T4T can be accessed from the Inclusion Corner page.

The Ministry urges parents and educators to engage with the SpEd Unit to promote greater acceptance and understanding of students with special education needs.
