Private schools can be regulated

[NewsWhore]

Two former ministers of education agree that the ministry has to power to censure and charge private schools that violate the regulations that are laid out by the Ministry. For the most part these measures are to do with the texts to be used and the dates for opening and closing the schools. Both Ivelisse Prats de Perez and Milagros Ortiz Bosch agreed to disagree with the statement issued by current Education Minister Alejandrina German who said that the Ministry had no control over what private institutions did.
