At least 11 educational centers in Santiago, Dominican Republic, failed to open for the start of the 2026-2027 academic year this Monday. The delay affects students across the province as schools remain closed due to ongoing reconstruction projects and the physical deterioration of facilities.
In addition to infrastructure challenges, the closures are attributed to a shortage of teaching staff. These findings were confirmed following a field assessment of several educational sites within the region.
