Puerto Rico's School Crisis
Puerto Rico's School Crisis
"Since 2014, the Puerto Rican government has closed 135 schools— about 10% of the schools on the island. The results of these school closings are class sizes as large as 40 students. The new law requires the closure of 400 more public schools—30% of the remaining public schools on the island. Additionally, Project 1456 requires that the government turn at least 15% of schools into Lider (charter schools) every three years under the auspices of private control and the education authority. - See more at: http://www.progressive.org/news/2015/11/188428/puerto-ricos-school-crisis#.dpuf
