According to El Caribe, no one at the Ministry of Education or Public Works knows how many classrooms have started to be built or where they are located. It’s worth recalling that in a big ceremony on 3 January, President Danilo Medina distributed RD$2.8 billion to 341 engineers contracted for an equal number of schools and for repairing another 31. Since then the initiative that appeared to give a good start for the Medina administration, appears to have stalled. El Caribe learned that as well as legal problems with the properties where the schools were to be built, in some cases there was no property available in the area, and this has stalled the program. Another issue is apparently some differences of opinion between Education, Public Works and the Office of Supervising Engineers of State Projects. Yesterday when El Caribe tried to find out where work had started, none of the entities were capable of providing the information.
