Educate -----> Emancipate

"To educate is to emancipate" -Patrick Manning (Former PM of Trinidad and Tobago)

One of the reasons that Belize is so under developed with human resources is because of a selfish decision by the Father of the Nation, George Price. When the University of West Indies were seeking a third location for a campus, they originally wanted to put one in Belize instead of Jamaica. They wanted to put it in Belmopan. They wanted the campus on high land. George Price and the People's United Party, however, turned them away!

Why would they reject such a promising opportunity to vastly educate Belizeans and eventually develop the country? Because ignorant people are easy to control. You cannot easily control educated people because they know about the world, various subjects and how things work. Educated people can challenge leaders when they do wrong. Educated people can realize when they are being cheated and are not easily fooled. This is why UWI was rejected, because the "Father of the Nation" wanted to control and manipulate the country. I think George Price's title should change!
