So the following has no meaning what-so-ever?
Year: Budget of education dept (Secretaria de Educación)
In red: under PRD rule
In blue: under PLD rule
In black and bold: projected for next year
2002: RD$ 10.8b
2003: RD$ 11b
2004: RD$ 12.8b
2005: RD$ 17b
2006: RD$ 20b
2007: RD$ 25b
2008: RD$ 32b
A 250% increase in funding towards public education has occurred since 2004 to the 2008 education budget, the first significant increase in education budget given that under the entire PRD rule time period education funding remained frozen, and yet, that's all talk with no substance?
