Why Operation Education?
The education system in the Dominican Republic ranks among the worst in the world with only 22% of its 3.7 million chlidren finishing 8th grade and 10% finishing high school.
Classrooms are typically overcrowded and children do not receive the level of individual attention necessary for them to succeed.
Approximately 85% of poverty-stricken Dominican parents have never completed primary education.
