At this time, schools are being built throughout the Dominican Republic.
Until now, students get a few hours of teaching per day.
The youngest in the morning, the older ones in the afternoon and the grown up students in the evening.
The President wants the students to follow lessons in the morning and the afternoon.
The students will also receive a free breakfast and a lunch.
In addition to 21 well-equipped classrooms the new primary school 'Jeremías Kerry Green' in La Unión has also a library, a computer room with internet access and a dining room with kitchen.

amphitheater and school
With a festive event the amphitheater has been officially opened, although finished more than a year later than scheduled.
The amphitheater offers up to 5100 people a seat and provides a platform for music, theater, dance and film.
Puerto Plata will be, as is expected, with this theater more attractive to tourists.
The hope is that the cruise ship passengers are going to attend a performance at the theater.
