Former American Chamber of Commerce president Kevin Manning has told reporters that the government's reduced investment in education, combined with their inefficient use of resources is seriously hurting the Dominican Republic's future. Manning said that sources have told him that none of the projects aimed at improving the educational infrastructure have initiated as yet. Manning called for a national commitment to face up to the problems associated with the education services that all Dominicans are supposed to receive. Through education citizens are able to improve their lives, but this is impossible under the current circumstances, according to Manning. He told reporters from Hoy that without good teachers and lots of students, it would be impossible for the Dominican Republic to face the challenges of globalization. He pointed out that although the law states that 4% of GDP should be invested in education, not one single government has ever met this target.
