    Forum on Public Policy Perspectives in Early Childhood Education: Belize, Brazil, Mexico, El Salvador and Peru Judith Lynne McConnell-Farmer, Pamela R. Cook, and M. W. Farmer. Judith Lynne McConnell-Farmer, Professor, Department of Education, Washburn University Pamela R. Cook, Professor, School of Educational Leadership, Indiana Wesleyan University M. W. Farmer, J.D., Business Consultant & Writer “Children have a right, as expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, to receive education, and early childhood education (ECE) must be considered part of this right.” A Global Scenario (June 9, 2012) Introduction Early childhood education (ECE) provision is becoming a growing priority. During the past twenty years, Latin America has shown a growing recognition in the provision of educational programs for young children, birth to age eight, is essential. Urban and rural populations intimated in 2009, that many countries utilizing equitable access to quality early childhood programs is often seen by policy makers as a means of achieving economic and political goals (United Nations, 2012). Unfortunately, a pre-occupation with economic and political goals may conflict with the provision of quality programming for young children. Chavez and McConnell (2000) stated, “Early childhood education in Latin America has been fragmented, and in some places nonexistent. In general, those that are able to afford it place their children in private preschool programs or hire a staff person, servant, or babysitter to provide the daily custodial care for the child”. (p. 159) In a number of Latin American countries provisions for educating young children exist as intent to provide quality services.

  • Ritual Responses to Drought: an Examination of Ritual Expressions in Classic Maya Written Sources
    Human Ecology (2018) 46:759–781 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10745-018-0019-6 Ritual responses to drought: An examination of ritual expressions in Classic Maya written sources Eva Jobbová1 & Christophe Helmke2 & Andrew Bevan1 Published online: 14 September 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Planting and rain-beckoning rituals are an extremely common way in which past and present human communities have confronted the risk of drought across a range of environments worldwide. In tropical environments, such ceremonies are particularly salient despite widespread assumptions that water supplies are unproblematic in such regions. We demonstrate for the first time that two common but previously under-appreciated Maya rituals are likely planting and rain-beckoning rituals preferentially performed at certain times of the year in close step with the rainy season and the Maya agricultural cycle. We also argue for considerable historical continuity between these Classic Maya ceremonies and later Maya community rituals still performed in times of uncertain weather conditions up to the present day across Guatemala, Belize, and eastern Mexico. During the Terminal Classic period (AD 800-900), the changing role played by ancient Maya drought-related rituals fits into a wider rhetorical shift observed in Maya texts away from the more characteristic focus on royal births, enthronements, marriages, and wars towards greater emphasis on the correct perpetuation of key ceremonies, and we argue that such changes are consistent with palaeoclimatic evidence for a period of diminished precipitation and recurrent drought. Keywords Epigraphy . Agriculture . Precipitation . Ritual . Maya . Belize . Guatemala . Eastern Mexico Introduction This narrative and rhetorical shift in the last century or so of the Classic period is not only interesting in its own right, but The Maya are one of the best-known civilisations of also implies a growing disjunction between what was actually Mesoamerica, noted for their art, architecture, astronomy, taking place and what the texts relate.

  • Belize Election Law Marty Casado Mon, Dec 1, 2014 Government 0 8520
    Belize Election Law Marty Casado Mon, Dec 1, 2014 Government 0 8520 Elections in Belize are the duly held elections held at various levels of government in the nation of Belize. Dissolving elected bodies is broken down in the following order:- The Legislature: Dissolving the National Assembly of Belize is the prerogative of the Governor General of Belize, currently Sir Colville Young. Under sections 84 and 85 of the Constitution, the Governor General can at any time dissolve or prorogue the Assembly under the advice of the Prime Minister of Belize, with the caveat that a general election must be called within three months of such dissolution, unless the Governor General sees no reason to do so. City and town councils: City and town councils dissolve on the last Sunday of February in every third year, with the election called for the first Wednesday in March in every third year. General elections: Belize elects on national level a legislature. The National Assembly has two chambers. The House of Representatives has 31 members, elected for a five-year term in single-seat constituencies as of 2008. The Senate has 12 members appointed for a five-year term. Belize has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties, with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party. Only once in the most recent general elections did an independent candidate receive more votes than a party candidate. Wilfred Elrington, running independently in 2003, received twice as many votes as the UDP candidate but failed to win.

Belize’s highly productive coastal zone is the resource base that supports a broad range of economic activities and contributes significantly to the environmental, social and cultural fabric of our country. It is therefore imperative that we are able to identify and implement informed management solutions that will aid us as a people and a government to safeguard the wealth of coastal and marine resources from which we all benefit. The National Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan for Belize is a comprehensive and cross-sectoral planning framework that offers robust strategic solutions that build on the national agenda for growth, sustainable development and improved resources management. It links the economic potential and ecological value of the coastal zone with a balanced mix of utilization and conservation, thereby promoting the long-term viability of the Belizean coastal zone.
