Before we get into the history of this beloved institution I first of all want to thank all the students, parents, sponsors and friends who have helped in any way to make education at CCC ACE and CJC ACE possible. I accept that without you all we would not have an institiution. What are principals, deans, directors, secretaries and all the faculty and staff of educational institutions if we have no students? WE ARE NOTHING!!!!
The Adult and Continuing Education Division (ACE) of CCC and CJC came into being some short years ago. The Corozal Junior College ACE was first to come on line and it began in 1993.
Up until the 1980's if you did not have family in Belize City or the money to pay for lodging in Belize City, there was no way you could get a tertiary level education. When the Day Division was underway in Corozal Town it became obvious that many people in the working force had not had the opportunity of attaining an Associate Degree. Thus, the evening programme was discussed and the pioneers were Mr. Carlos Castillo, the then Principal of CCC and a few educators including Mr. Phillip Edwards (deseased), Miguel Montero, and Jose Mai. Thanks to these people and a few others, CJC ACE opened in 1993 and its success since has been tremendous.
Today CJC ACE has programmes for Associated Degrees in Business and Primary Education. It is hoped that next year the Computer Programme will be included to its programmes.
Presently the Director and the Secretary of the ACE Division are past graduated of CJC ACE and both have been Valedictorians in their time.
