How does Belize parallel US and Canada?
I wondered how this Belizean system works.
In Canada, and I presume the US as well, a child must turn five years old at the end of December in order to start Kindergarten, or six years old to start Grade 1.
Assuming the child completes each year successfully, the child graduates from Grade 12 at the age of 18 or 17 (turning 18 by the end of the calendar year that they finished Grade 12).
Which of the following would be correct?
| age as of Dec 31 | Canada (except Quebec) | Belize #1 | Belize #2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Elementary: Kindergarten | Primary: Infant I | -- |
| 6 | Elementary: Grade 1 | Primary: Infant II | Primary: Infant I |
| 7 | Elementary: Grade 2 | Primary: 1st Standard | Primary: Infant II |
| 8 | Elementary: Grade 3 | Primary: 2nd Standard | Primary: 1st Standard |
| 9 | Elementary: Grade 4 | Primary: 3rd Standard | Primary: 2nd Standard |
| 10 | Elementary: Grade 5 | Primary: 4th Standard | Primary: 3rd Standard |
| 11 | Elementary or Middle: Grade 6 | Primary: 5th Standard | Primary: 4th Standard |
| 12 | Elementary, Middle or Jr High: Grade 7 | Primary: 6th Standard | Primary: 5th Standard |
| 13 | Elementary, Middle or Jr High: Grade 8 | Secondary: 1st Form | Primary: 6th Standard |
| 14 | Junior High or Secondary: Grade 9 | Secondary: 2nd Form | Secondary: 1st Form |
| 15 | Secondary: Grade 10 | Secondary: 3rd Form | Secondary: 2nd Form |
| 16 | Secondary: Grade 11 | Secondary: 4th Form | Secondary: 3rd Form |
| 17 | Secondary: Grade 12 | -- | Secondary: 4th Form |
So, did I get it right with Belize #1 or with Belize #2? GBC (talk) 07:28, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Restored
I reverted a large section of deletions from a year ago. Not sure if it was vandalism, but I think it was definitely damaging. The article could still use a lot of work.
