Omar Fernández pide atención a falta de cupos en escuelas
Transcript
00:00And one would ask, how can it be possible to comply with what is established in the Constitution
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 place
00:38policies adequate to mitigate this situation.
00:42It is highly possible that the economic crisis has led to that parents and mothers
00:49have to carry their children from private education to public education.
00:53This is because perhaps they lost their jobs
00:55or because it is expensive to live in the Dominican Republic.
00:59And 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 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 should call us a profound reflection.
01:21In my personal case, I will announce that I will visit this week
01:25the recintos escolares
01:26to talk to the directors and the directors
01:29as well as with the Ministry of Education
01:31for that in every recintos escolares
01:33that I find an anomaly,
01:35parents and mothers agobiados
01:37that can't inscribe their children
01:38will be a communication to the Ministry of Education
01:40for that as an authority competently
01:42to put material on the issue.
01:43Because how can it be
01:45that, in many situations,
01:47and we talked about the other day
01:48that they could convert themselves
01:50in points of control migratory
01:52the hospitals,
01:53well, it doesn't only basta
01:55with that
01:56cerca of the 40% of the maternities
01:58are occupied by women national haitianas,
02:00extranjeras,
02:01but that now are also the schools.
02:03And I believe
02:04that an example has been
02:05the Dominican Republic
02:06respect to the human rights,
02:08respect to the human rights,
02:09respect to the human rights
02:10and also respect to the solidarity.
02:12But when one sees all those things
02:14at the cost of the development
02:15and the future of the Dominican Republic,
02:17we have to question
02:18if we are seeing the thing
02:19well or not,
02:20gentlemen.
02:21Therefore,
02:22I will tell you
02:23that I will present myself
02:24this same week
02:25recintos by recintos
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 of my responsibility.
02:35The reason for
02:36that I am going there
02:37is to ensure
02:38that the parents
02:39and mothers
02:40with the Dominican Republic
02:42have their
02:44secured
02:45so that they have
02:46a public education
02:47guaranteed
02:48the rest of the year.
02:49I will end with a final reflection
02:51that
02:52that
02:53growing education
02:54is a future
02:55reason
02:57for which I am convinced
02:58of ever
02:59that education
03:01is synonymous
03:02of freedom
03:03and prosperity.
03:04Thank you, President.
