Most likely got schooled in Haiti and even with all their problems, their public education is better than the Dominican at least in the basics. Anyway this thread is about Haitian children born in the DR not getting their ABC's.
Do you actually believe every myth?
I would say that Haiti's public education system, at best is equaled to that of the DR. Of course, they DO have a much larger shortage of schools in rural areas (where the majority of Haitians live) and much lower enrollment rates than the DR.
So, please enlighten everyone how Haiti public education is "better" than the Dominican. At the very best, they are both equal and IF the Haitian education system is "better" (which I strongly doubt), its obviously not being enjoyed by a very large portion of the population.
A country where only 53% of the population is literate can't possibly have an overall better education system than a country where 87% can read and write.
Did you know the DR has one of the highest newspaper circulation rate in the world for a country of its size? These newspapers can't possibly be printing for an illiterate population.
Haiti's literacy rate
DR literacy rate
BTW, if you don't want people to discuss education, then don't inject such into the thread.

I understand but the article found in the OP, is dealing with undocumented or like some prefer alien Haitians.
Btw its curious that those you call legal Haitians are not those children born in Dominican territory, weird.

How did you arrived to that conclusion?
Legal are all peoples who are recognized by the Dominican government to be in the DR without violating any laws regarding such.
So, Hidalgo answer the following for me:
If a legal Haitian who is not "in transit" has a child in the DR, would that child be legal?
I think so, in fact that child would even receive Dominican citizenship. I see no problem with that, given that the parents of such child were responsible enough to do things the legal and right way.
So, please explain to me and everyone else how you came to your conclusion that Haitian children born in the DR are not legal.
