Sure....Throw money at the education problem


Just look at how well it worked in the US.

We need more than the 4% to be put into education and not just into building schools. We need to train and pay our teachers better and provide more school materials for all public schools. Education should be a primary concern for all Dominicans because our children are our future.

This is great, because the new generation of young Dominicans will not be denied without putting up a fight.

AC, it's not about throwing money at the problem, it's actually spending the REQUIRED AMOUNT AS STIPULATED UNDER THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND: The Constitution. LF and the gang should establish the precedent for respecting the law so future governments extend the same and in so doing DR will finally begin to act like an adult in matters of governance and leave behind her still-born afflictions that have so hampered her people's growth and productivity. Having a nation full of illiterates and functional illiterate, in matters of modernity, is no way to move the nation forward. Money is not the end-all, I agree, but some measure beyond the 2% of PIB of spending is required to correct the notorious educational deficits of the people of the DR.

4% of PIB is at least a start along this long, but prosperous journey. Long live the DR!

I agree with atabey. but since money is been thrown at everything that is corrupt, why not throw some to education. I also agree that it should be monitor and should be spend the right way. the infrastructural of DR is improving but the education is not looking good. so people are tire of seen and saying how beautiful is dr. they are realizing that there is other major issues need to be attend to.

Oh wow!! excellent!! more power to the protesters!!! education is the only way that the country can move forward!!

this is a bullsh*t from the prd party..2010, was the better year for education in dr...http://economiadominicana.files.w....com/2010/11/grafico-educacion.jpg

Down slaves. Retreat! You will pay 100% to the International and American criminal banksters or go to our private prisons. Your (OUR) slave children won't need education to work on cotton fields 18 hours a day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0mhX9hpq3g&feature=player_embedded

way to go dominicans you now your system to educate is 75 years old . keep up the good work make demands and get rid of bogus politicians that do not listen to the peoples voice
bless you all

I remember my parents and grand parents once praised Dominican education as one of the best in Latin America. That was thanks to the efforts of pioneer educator Eugenio Maria de Hostos who for years lived and later died in the DR

Hostos was one of the reformers of Dominican Education who along with others helped to develop our country's educational system and established "La Escuela normal" or teachers college. It was to provide a model school with model classrooms to teach model teaching methods to aspiring professionals. Unfortunately in later years, little-by-little as time pass, the DR stray from those practices until eventually we ended up with one of the worst public education systems around.

However, private education, with a few of exceptions is exceptional, a great value recieved for the money invested and to get a US equivalent is almost impossible unless subsidized. However, the negative consequence to an elitist education for a priviledge few is social inequality

This is good news it will pressured Leo to act now, This is what the civil rights leaders did in the 60s , and the more people protest the more attention it will bring .
