[inve.tment]

After viewing the various threads on DR universities, I decided to research some info. I was shocked to learn that there are ABOUT 20 universities [I think] in the DR. Considering that the DR is a relatively young country with the oldest education institution in the New World, I wonder if the country can survive the next 100 years in this new world without Better Higher Education Institutions.

I am wondering what does the current government plan to do in order to solve our problems, especially in the universities?

It's quite ironic how I use to laugh and make fun of other countries for there poor educational system and easy/false matriculate but yet my country is in the same category.

Something which I could not find was if the DR has a NCAA type of government office to regulate Collegian Athletic Leagues? Do they have any leagues?
I remember reading a post by a DR1 member about his experiences in the 1970s coaching a Soccer team in DR for I think PUCMM.

Are these the only Universities that exist in DR? In your opinion which are the best and which are the worst? I know what some of the responses will be, but new insight would be great.
