Though education has been a weak point in the DR's development, this generation of university students is doing better than their parents. According to Hoy, 40% of the parents of UASD University students either never went to school or didn't finish elementary school. 29.52% of the fathers didn't finish their primary education.
Only 17% of both fathers and mothers completed high school. Only 12% of either parents graduated from university.
The profile of UASD students is part of a graduation thesis dating back to 2005 by Alvaro Belmar, Enilda Garcia and Maria Diaz Solis.
The study shows that the education of fathers and mothers is similar. While 11.97% of the fathers of UASD students had not completed middle school, 12.75% of the mothers hadn't either.
The generational difference provides hope that the DR's next generation of students will do better than this generation.
