Ministry of Education wants more data

[Dolores]

And now… the Ministry of Education (Minerd) admits it doesn’t know for sure the number of students in the public educational system, reports Diario Libre. With two years on the job, Education Minister Roberto Furcal admitted: “In these less than two years in the Minerd, an anguish has always been there every time we have to make decisions. We have to cross-check the data five times, because the schools, the school managements give an amount of enrollment to receive school meals, but the directors give us another enrollment to determine the lack of support staff, depending on the interest involved.”

Dominican parents need to start paying close attention to what these U.N. related agencies want to promote to/ teach their children. They need to make sure these non-profit education think tanks aren't encouraging anytype of leftist ideology be taught to the students trapped in this dysfunctional public school system. The last thing this country needs is more division among society.

When it comes to education the old Dominican Republic is doing just fine. You might of thought this white elephant would have been addressed starting day one this current administration took power...right?
Wrong.
Tourism and new roads to nowhere are far more important than the children.

Both by pen and on the computer. They have a complete educational database and logs all students registered in the DR by student number and school. The government knows exactly how many kids are registered and where. Some public schools have more Haitian kids than Dominican kids. The government has that information as well.

Not even close.
Most Dominican educators, and specifically the left-leaning few, have never picked up "Das Kapital" or even Marx's magnum opus.
I would challenge them to go beyond the romanticism associated with Che, Castro, and Allende.

I believe they were thinking more about CRT and 56 plus genders....etc. romanticism = myths.

Hopefully you've set up a templet on your computer/printer so you can fill out the form that way instead of by hand.

At work we fill out a ton of govt. forms every month, along with daily checks and shipping documents. All done with an EXCEL template.

They require it both in written and computer form. Stupid but their rules. Same for vaccinations.
