Bukele ally criticizes El Salvador’s schools

San Salvador, Nov 15 (Prensa Latina) In El Salvador there are abandoned educational centers and children have to receive lessons, even in a hacienda where there are cows, Reynaldo López Cardoza, deputy of the National Concertación Party (PCN), said.

In September 2022, President Nayib Bukele launched the “My New School” program and promised to remodel 5,150 schools in five years, a plan that the Municipal Works Directorate (DOM) forgot, according to complaints.

The president’s project involved “comprehensive education reform” in six key areas: infrastructure, early childhood, teacher training, renewed curriculum, technology, as well as health and nutrition.

To fund this program, the President assured that they would direct 5,1 % of the projected GDP for 2022, which he said amounted to 1,472.23 billion.
