Over the past three weeks, the Ministry of Education has evaluated the performance of 26,300 public school teachers as part of its assessment of 60,000 educators. The purpose of the evaluation is to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the education system. The evaluations come with a price tag of RD$140 million and will determine who gets wage increases between 17 and 32%. These are the first evaluations in eight years.
565 pairs of evaluators made their assessments based on watching each teacher in class for 45 minutes.
Participating in the evaluations are the Dominican Institution for Evaluation and Investigation of Education Quality (Ideice), the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI), the Dominican Association of Teachers (ADP) and the Ministry of Education.
