The Ministry of Education announced it will begin an educational television series, targeted at 7th, 8th and 9th grade students. The series seeks to bring quality high school classes to areas where it is not cost worthy to build a high school. The director of the new program, Jose Enrique Trinidad explained the program is in its experimental stage and as such will only be available in certain areas of the country. The Ministry of Education is setting up 500 video halls in schools across the country, but the program will initiate with 20 centers. The Ministry is assisted in the development of the program by the Instituto Latinoamericano de la Comunicación Educativa and the Ministry of Public Education of Mexico. History and Geography subjects will be adapted to Dominican content, but the Ministry is using large portions of Mexican math, science, and Spanish language content.
