Dominican Republic - Educational System-overview - 0 views

In 1985 the structure of the educational pyramid consisted of three years of noncompulsory preschool education; six years in primary school; and six years in middle school, divided into two years of intermediate education and four years of secondary school, or into four years and two years (Plan de Reforma). Students who continued to that point received their high school degree (bachillerato) and might continue to the tertiary education provided by the Dominican universities, which conferred either licentiates (licenciaturas), ingenerias, or doctorados (doctorates—for law and medicine only), depending on the field of study.

CHRISTOPHER S on 10 Nov 09i think that the way that the education system is , is somewhat stranger to here but it shows that the people there probably don't have enough funding to make it a full and more reliable education system.

Of the three years of preschool education, one year became compulsory, as did nine years of basic primary school, effectively extending compulsory schooling by four years. Middle school (to receive the bachillerato degree) has been reduced to only three years and is noncompulsory, as is higher education. Middle school students are separated into academic and technical-professional tracks, receiving high school diplomas that specify their tracks.

something that this made me think of is the way that the schools over there try to extend the natural flow of school by adding more time to the school's students and seperating them based on academics.
