I don't get it! What are you shocked about? You think there should be more universities? Personally I think the government needs to worry about primary and secondary education first and foremost. Do you have any idea what the dropout rate in The DR is? I don't know, but I would dare say it's extremely high.
You also have to understand that The UASD (and a few others), have campuses in many areas of the country and have almost 100k students enrolled. By comparison Michigan State University has about 40k students, and that's considered huge here in the US.
I think we have the right number of universities right now. They just need more money to provide better education. As far as I know there are no people in The DR who are being kept from going to college, because of lack of institutions to attend. There are people who are not attending college, because they cannot afford it or because they feel going to college is a waste of time, because of the lack of decent jobs.
