Looking at the Demographics of the population, I would say yes, it should. Given that only about %5.6 speaks English as a first language, and %50 speaks Spanish as a first language, it would make things a bit more fair in the schools.
However, given the number of people who speak Kriol, English might still be best in terms of making instruction easier on the students, while Spanish would most likely make trade with the other countries in Central America easier. Belize seems to have struck a fairly good balance with how it uses languages, though.
