All Dominican Republic schools to be full-day this year
San Juan, Dominican Republic.- President Danilo Medina on Sunday announced the start of full-day schools August nationwide, what in his view will change the country?s history, "and we?ll be able to become a more developed nation."
"The purpose is to ease their economic burden, especially single mothers from the Dominican Republic. "The extended day, as I said in the election campaign, is going to guarantee a breakfast, a lunch and a snack," Medina said referring to the full-day schools, from 8am to 4pm.
"Here in the coming year, we?re going to finish all schools that have been started and those which are about to begin" the President said during his surprise visits on Sundays, this time to towns of San Juan province (west).
