18 institutions that promote quality education for all have petitioned the Presidency, Congress and political parties to support increasing budgeted allotments for education. They request an increase in the allotment for education to RD$44.8 billion, up from RD$31.3 billion for 2009. They press the point government investment in education is at present one of the lowest in Latin America. "Investing in education is one of the most effective ways to fight poverty, social exclusion and contribute to the sustainable economic growth of the country," they state.
Institutions making the petition include: Educa, Asociacion Doinicana de Profesores (ADP), Intec, Fe y Alegria, Foro Socioeducativo, Flacso, Centro Cultural Poveda, Plan Internacional, Foro Ciudadano, Participacion Ciudadana, Mision Educativa Lasallista, among others.
