Wasn’t it the education so essential to the future of the Dominican Republic that society took to the streets and demanded that 4% of GDP be handed over to it?
Yes… the education it was and is essential and more than 23 billion dollars have already been invested and no progress worth applauding in the learning of the students.
In 2022 the budget assigned to the Minerd will be 231,147 million pesos. And Educa tells that in relation to total public spending, the Dominican Republic is the country that spends the most on education… Of the world! In education we invest 4% of GDP and allocate 26.13% of public spending. The salaries of the teachers they doubled in the seven years between 2012 and 2019.
tweets happily the minister of Education Superior: this month there is a 15% salary increase for teachers and employees of the UASD. A university famous for being autonomous only for a few things. Will public and private employees have double-digit raises this year? Will they get a raise? How much more are the rest of us going to work to pay with our taxes for this system of education so… improvable? How is it explained that universities do not fully reopen their classrooms? What is the reason that justifies this “abandonment of functions”? Aren’t the university students everywhere (except in the classrooms) and the country’s workers (except the teachers) at their posts?
Twenty-three billion dollars since the 4% kicked off. That is all the money in the world and today we can say that we have wasted it. At last, the ADP he has given up his strike and orders a return to the classrooms.
(The conviction remains that this 4% must be limited).
