Dominican Schools Struggle with Electricity Shortages

Dominican Republic Schools Lack Basic Resources: ASONADEDI-RD Director Highlights Electricity Shortages Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – A recent interview on the television show "Coloquios" shed light on the critical challenges facing public schools in the Dominican Republic. Víctor Mártir, president of the National Association of Directors of Public Centers (ASONADEDI-RD), highlighted the lack of basic resources, particularly electricity, in many schools across the country. "We have schools without electricity in this day and age," stated Mártir. "Despite the technological advancements in the world, there are children who need quality education services, and this lack of basic resources hinders their learning." Mártir's comments underscore the urgent need to address the infrastructure deficiencies in the Dominican educational system. The interview, part of the "Coloquios con la doctora Jacqueline Malagón" program, is a call to action to improve conditions for students. The segment serves as a powerful reminder of the inequalities that persist within the country's education system and the need for sustained investment in educational infrastructure.
