While the Constitution and the law say that the Dominican Ministry of Education should receive 4% of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Minister of Hacienda, Vicente Bengoa says it is "impossible." He said that even if they wanted to it would be impossible to provide this money in the 2011 Budget.
