I think the law says

up til 16, but what do I know?

Major problem for thousands is that they are non-registered children and have no birth certificates. With out the B.C. s, they can't get past the 5th ot 6th grade....Even registering in school can be tough with out the birth certificates.

Funding? for what? The schools? Government is supposed to do it for the public schools and the private schools get it from the parents.

HB :D:D

There are laws in the books on compulsory school attendance, but they haven't been enforced since Trujillo's regime. In rural Azua major problems are lack of infrastructure, lack of requisite clothing (shoes, uniforms), and transportation (including parents' inability afford public transportation for their children). As of yesterday, the school of Las Lomas de Azua (built with funds from the ngo Plan International) turned away many students for lack of desks...

Ley 66-97

Mongoose, I know this is late but if you are still interested. According to the Ley Org?nica de Educaci?n de la Rep?blica Dominicana 66-97 at this site-

http://www.jmarcano.com/mipais/cult...n/leyeduca.html

School is mandantory for the first 8 years which would be from the ages of 6 to 14. As mentioned by Mirador this is not enforced. For your information any funds requested for tituion is, according to law, illegal but once again nobody seems to complain and they keep paying each year.

For some reason the link didn't work. I think this might work better:
