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?

Grade and form/standard equivalents
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)

Could someone ... please?!! ... answer my inquiry as to which of these is correct? GBC (talk) 07:08, 15 April 2010 (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.
