Belize has what is often called a “Church and State School System”. The vast majority of the schools are managed by a church. The largest of these is the Roman Catholic Church however the Methodist, Nazarene, Baptist, Evangelical and other denominations also manage many of the schools.
For both the church and state schools, the government is responsible for most of the education policies. It also provides funding for teacher's salaries and for some of the construction and infrastructure costs of schools under church management. Due to this history of partnership between government and church there is an understanding of the value of spiritual education. Prayer, devotion, the teachings of Jesus and denominational doctrine remain common in Belizean schools.
