About Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic’s GDP investment in education is a slight 1.9 percent – this is one of the lowest investments in education in all of Latin America and the Caribbean. This results in overcrowded classrooms, overwhelmed teachers, and high dropout rates – which greatly impacts the futures of young Dominicans.
Poverty is also an issue despite the economic growth of the Dominican Republic over the last ten years with GDP per capita rising almost 50 percent from 2000 to 2011. In the same time period, over 19 percent of the country’s residents’ economic status actually fell despite the improved economy, widening the gaps between the poor and the rich.
