By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Today, Minister of Education, Culture, Science and Technology Francis Fonseca handed over equipment for the FIFA Digital Education Programme to St. Joseph’s Primary School.

Minister Fonseca was joined by Sergio Chuc, President of the Football Federation of Belize and Dian Maheia, Chief Executive Officer in the MoECST.

“St. Joseph’s is one of the schools pioneering this awesome initiative which is designed to introduce computer science fundamentals, with a particular focus on coding and robotics, into the primary school curriculum,” the Ministry noted.

Participating schools will also benefit from enrollment in the FIFA Football for Schools initiative, which aims to bolster their football programs through donations of equipment, financial support, and access to relevant software.

Additionally, teachers within these schools have undergone specialised training facilitated by experts from code.org, further enhancing their capacity to deliver high-quality computer science education.

Minister Fonseca and the team from FFB had the opportunity to see how students and teachers are benefitting from this programme in real-time.

The Ministry commended Teacher Novelo and her students.
