TEGUCIGALPA — Taiwan must vacate its embassy in Honduras within 30 days, a senior Honduran official said on Monday, after President Xiomara Castro severed ties with Taiwan in favor of China in a bid for more investment and jobs from the Asian giant. Deputy Foreign Minister Antonio Garcia issued the order on local television on Monday, following the government's announcement over the weekend that it had opened formal diplomatic relations with Beijing while simultaneously ending its decades-long relationship with Taiwan.

Just like other schools in the country, overcrowding became an issue. With the help of parents, the school constructed a new three-in-one classroom, which was opened today. 'This classroom is around K70,000. The school board and parents worked hand in hand to complete this classroom,' said head teacher, Eston Steven. 'The timeframe that we actually started work was all of term one; so it took four months.' The head teacher noted that with free education, most parents are now relaxing; they just took their children in for registration early this year, left them with the teachers and are no longer interested in helping out.
