Education Minister Alejandrina German has unveiled the government's 10-Year Education Plan for 2008-2018, calling it an instrument for changing education in the country. The plan follows a lengthy consultation phase with private educators, teaching unions, business and civil society groups, as reported in Hoy. Nevertheless, it postpones the implementation of General Law of Education 66-97 that calls for the government to invest 4% of the Gross Domestic Product in education until 2013.
During the presentation, Luis Sanchez Noble, speaking for the business community, spoke about the changes that are needed. "Up to now we have been surrounded by brilliant speeches, but action has been weak", he stated. He encouraged Dominican teachers to be better trained, highlighting the fact that more and better quality education is needed. He called for the cooperation of the Dominican Public School Teachers Association (ADP) so that teaching schedules are met.
