I'm not convinced about that, there just isn't sufficient evidence. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned to be true, though.Originally Posted by Dipre;441032;

In other words, this country sabotages the lower part of the population's chance at education by not investing enough in education.
You have no idea the kind of things you see in public schools in some of the rural places of this country.
We're talking no seats, a broken board and no ceiling on the school.

More government investment into education would probably result in more state control, but that's strictly off my experience of Canadian and American public education systems. American public schools routinely airbrush the details of history to reflect an extremely pro-American viewpoint. Many American high school students see their government as a truly benevolent force.Originally Posted by Dipre;441384;
The better chance for more education would be to break the the monopolic grip on the system. Are private schools allowed to compete in the DR?

Besides that, the secretary of education is independent to the highest possible extent of the government, so their school programs do not reflect political interests of any kind.
I guess that's the only thing where education here really excels.

Our secretary of education presumably would argue the same, but I would consider the source. I have read that Dominican Roman Catholic schools are some of the finest in the world, and are the preferred schools for many of the middle class. What are the costs for tuition at one of those schools, compared to the costs of funding per pupil at state schools?Originally Posted by Dipre;442256;
The national average in the States is a tick under $10,000, which is well above the cost of many private schools, which do an extraordinary job for half the cost.

The average price range of a catholic bilingual school here comes to about 900 dollars per student.
The difference in quality is massive but so is the difference in price.
