Goverment acknowledges weaknesses in the Dominican education sector

The secretary general of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), Reinaldo Pared Perez, acknowledged today that there are weaknesses in the education sector in the Dominican Republic but said it should talk about quality not quantity.

Referring to statements by U.S. ambassador in the country, Raul Yzaguirre, that they have made little progress in education in the Dominican Republic, Pared Perez said that the challenge of the next candidate of the PLD is to improve the sector.

He argued that President Leonel Fernandez is aware of the need to invest in this sector.
