This step, with little major notice on the plan, will become the stepping stone to our education system. The plan is to be rolled out by stages, being 2015 the year that all education will be conducted via electronic means in the DR.

GREAT news PICHARDO ....... are Microsoft going to be supplying the US $100 'wind up' variety of laptop or have the Electricity Companies guaranteed to supply a minimum of 10 hours electricity each day to EVERY household where children live so that the laptop batteries might be recharged?
Is this 'AGREEMENT' going to be a 'cross party agreement' to ensure the complete plan is instituted by 2015 or will any incoming NEW political party be able to scuttle the agreement (as with the present "WE WILL SUPPLY 4% OF THE GDP FOR EDUCATION) when times get hard?
I can see there will be a glut of 'laptops' sitting in the Compra Ventas by 2015!
