Capo: OK I understand your concern now. There are community colleges in The DR. For instance in Cotui we have the Instituto Technologico Del Cibao Oriental ITECO and I believe there are similar institutions in other parts of the country. I do agree that some of these institutions could hardly be called centers of higher learning and they should be better regulated, but they are just a result of supply and demand. In a country with such need for affordable education they fulfill a space. I guess I would rather see these kinds of institutions than nothing at all. INTEC and PUCMM are decent schools, but not everyone can afford to attend there, thus you have UTESA, O&M and others catering to the rest of the population.
