The Dominican Association of Teachers (ADP), comprising public school teachers and the autonomous pro-education NGO, Action for Basic Education (Educa), have backed Education Minister Melanio Paredes's appeal for more resources for his department in 2009. The Executive Branch is considering allocating all government departments the same amount in 2009 as in 2008.
