Country Abbreviations

GTM is the three-letter country code of Guatemala, and GT is the two-letter country code of Guatemala. The two-letter suffix is used in top-level domains on the Internet as .gt.

Education

There is compulsory schooling from the 7th to 14th year of age, the enforcement of which is not guaranteed everywhere. Primary school (grades 1–6) is followed by two three-year secondary school cycles (general and vocational or academically specialized courses). The language of instruction is Spanish. Tuition in public primary schools is free, with few exceptions, secondary schools are private and paid for. For this reason, many children and young people, but especially girls and members of the indigenous population, have no access to further education and better income opportunities.

There are 12 universities, including the state Universidad San Carlos, the Catholic Universidad Rafael Landivar and Universidad del Istmo, and the American Universidad del Valle.

Media

The constitution guarantees freedom of expression and freedom of the press. In fact, reporting on organized crime, corruption and human rights violations is hardly possible. The most important mass medium is television.

Press: The daily newspapers with the highest circulation are the tabloid “Nuestro Diario” (founded in 1998) and the morning paper “Prensa Libre” (founded in 1951). This is followed by »Siglo Veintiuno« and the morning newspaper »El Periódico«, both founded in 1990 and 1996 by the journalist José Rubén Zamora (* 1956), as well as the tabloid »Al Día« (founded in 1996) and the evening newspaper »La Hora «(founded in 1920). The government owns “Diario de Centro América” ​​(founded in 1880), the oldest newspaper in the country.

News Agency: Radio and television stations must be registered with the State Dirección General de Radiodifusión y Televisión Nacional. There are eleven state and around 80 private radio stations. The media entrepreneur Remigio Ángel González (* 1944) controls a radio chain and all four major private TV stations in Guatemala through the Albavisión company. The Academy for Maya Languages ​​has been running its own channel since 2008 (“TV Maya” / “Canal 5”).

Transportation

The road network is not yet sufficiently developed; around half of the 17,600 km of roads is paved. The Carretera Interamericana runs from the Mexican border via the capital Guatemala to El Salvador; the Carretera Costera runs parallel to it on the Pacific coast. A cross connection between the two coasts leads from Puerto Barrios to San José on the Pacific. Two railway lines go from the capital to the Mexican border and the Caribbean. The most important export port (formerly Puerto Barrios) is Santo Tomás de Castilla (Central American free port) on the Caribbean coast, Puerto Quetzal on the Pacific replaced San José as the most important import port away. A pipeline leads to the Caribbean oil port of Livingstone. Champerico is considered to be the most important fishing port in Guatemala. La Aurora International Airport is close to the capital.
