The coordinator for the United Nations Human Development Program, economist Miguel Ceara Hatton says that research shows that for the school year 2008-2009 some 632,000 children did not attend school, and things have not changed much. He says the Dominican Constitution guarantees children the right to education. Of the total, an estimated 363,000 are children 5 to 17 years old, the remainder are 5 years or younger. "What kind of citizens will those 363,000 be after the state has failed them?" he asked in an interview with Listin Diario. "Who or whom are responsible for the complying with Dominican laws?" he asks.
