The government of Belize has received a US$6 million loan from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) for its Student Loan Scheme, which will assist close to 800 learners, including financially disadvantaged persons, pursuing post-secondary and tertiary level programmes.
Through the Belize Student Loan Project, funds will be made available to the country's Development Finance Corporation to assist students seeking training in areas identified under the government's human resource development strategy as critical for improving the country's economic competitiveness.
The loan was approved at a recent meeting of CDB's Board of Directors.
