Accordingly, the State University in Santo Domingo has recently received a facelift of over 50 million dollars to make it into a University capable of providing a much needed site for higher education.
Upon its inauguration by the President, he stated that the University had previously fallen into a state of disrepair and various classes had become dysfunctional. Now both faculty and students will be able to benefit and progress further in education. |
