00:00And one would ask, how can it be possible to comply with what the constitution is established
00:06if there is no even a cup for the Dominican children, which is the first thing we have to think about.
00:11In 2022, we were in a situation where we had to apply a public policy of 500 dollars
00:18as a bonus to be able to deal with the absence of cupos for the students.
00:23Of course, three years, and three years, and more than 900.000 millions of pesos
00:29after, which is what represents the 4% if we go to three years, for each year,
00:33we are talking about that today we have not been able to put in action
00:38policies adequate to mitigate this situation.
00:41It is highly possible that the economic crisis has led to that parents and mothers
00:48have to bring their children to private education, public education,
00:52this because perhaps they lost their jobs
00:55or because it is expensive to live in the Dominican Republic.
00:58And you can see, they don't even have where to inscribe their children
01:02because the cupos today are quite limited.
01:05And in some cases, as it says, in the list of diaries,
01:07in some recintos escolares,
01:09more than the half are occupied by foreigners,
01:12evidentemente haitianos,
01:14and I assure you that many of them are in condition irregular in the Dominican Republic.
01:18So I think it is something that we have to call a deep reflection
01:21in my case personal anuncio,
01:23that I am going to visit this week
01:25the recintos escolares
01:26to talk to the directors and directors
01:29as well as with the Ministry of Education
01:31for that in every recinto school
01:33that I find a anomaly,
01:35parents and mothers agobiados
01:36that can't inscribe their children
01:38will be a communication
01:39to the Ministry of Education
01:40for that as a competent authority
01:41to put material on the issue.
01:43Because how can it be
01:44that in such situations
01:46and we talked about the other day
01:48that they could be converted
01:50in public control
01:52the hospitals,
01:53well,
01:54it is not only about
01:55that about the 40% of the maternities
01:58are occupied by national nationalities
02:00and foreign women,
02:01but also the schools.
02:03And I think
02:04that an example
02:05has been the Dominican Republic
02:06of respect to human rights,
02:08respect to human rights,
02:10respect to human rights
02:11and solidarity.
02:12But when one sees all those things
02:14as well as the future
02:16of the Dominican Republic
02:17we have to question
02:18if we are doing the thing
02:19well or not,
02:20gentlemen.
02:21So,
02:22I will tell you
02:23that I will present myself
02:24this same week
02:25as representative
02:27as representative
02:28of the national district
02:29because all the schools
02:30in the country
02:31are important,
02:33but the of my demarcation
02:34are my responsibility.
02:35The reason
02:36that I will go there
02:37is to ensure
02:38that the parents
02:39and mothers
02:40with children
02:42dominican
02:43have their
02:44safe
02:46to ensure
02:47public education
02:48guaranteed
02:49the rest of the year.
02:50I will conclude
02:51with a final reflection
02:52that
02:53is that
02:54planting education
02:55is a future
02:56reason
02:57for which I am more convinced
02:58than ever
02:59that education
03:00is synonymous
03:01of freedom
03:02and prosperity.
03:03Thank you, President.
