of basic primary school, effectively extending compulsory schooling
by four years. Middle school (to receive the bachillerato degree) has
been reduced to only three years and is noncompulsory, as is higher
education. Middle school students are separated into academic and
technical-professional tracks, receiving high school diplomas that
specify their tracks. Education provided by the Dominican
universities continues to confer licenciaturas, ingenerias, and
doctorados, but with extended programs, especially in the areas of
medicine and law, whose programs have been effectively doubled in
both material and time. Also of note is the inclusion of maestrias and
nonmedical doctorados as the higher education system expands its
postgraduate degree systems.

Paraguay
Education has not always received the recognition it deserves in
Paraguay. These days this is changing as political stability returns,

by the same opportunities, especially in terms of hours per day at
school. As a result 10% to 15% of them are still illiterate. The 6 years
of primary school start nominally at age 7, and education is
mandatory through to age 14

not well regarded by the local people who prefer to send their
children across to Chile if they can afford it. This is causing conflict
between educational authorities, which the Education Minister of
Paraguay is addressing by improving local facilities at home.

must be completed, unless the student has to repeat a year, in which
case, he or she only needs to stay until the age of fourteen. Around
that age, children often go to work to help support their families.
