The Dominican Republic has made significant progress in education and literacy in recent years, with efforts to improve the quality and accessibility of education. Despite this, it still faces challenges, such as a lack of resources and the varying quality of education in different regions. The literacy rate has improved, but there is still work to do, especially in rural areas and among marginalized populations. The government is implementing programs to address these issues and improve the overall education system.
