And he added: Amarante Baret stressed that this system has shown that it is feasible and successful, and that it produces results in terms of teaching and mastering the scientific methodology in order to make better use of the contents for the development of a person, from his\/her childhood until s\/he enters the University.

“We just finished signing a pact for quality education for all in the Dominican Republic, and one of these agreements we reached in this pact has to do precisely with making all the necessary changes in terms of our curriculum, in terms of the content that we should teach to both our teachers and our students, and we agreed also on everything that has to do with raising the quality of education in the country.”
The STEM World conference was organized with the purpose that the Minister of Education and other members of the Pact for Quality in Education be acquainted in detail with what the methodology (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is all about. This methodology is widely used in the United States and in some Latin American countries, as a proposal for supporting the learning processes of the students and for ensuring that knowledge serves as a tool for academic and personal growth.<\/P>

“It is evident, therefore, that their experiences will be useful to us”, said the official. He added that he will seek to implement this methodology among specialists in the teaching method and the authorities of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology, to continue with the process of bolstering quality in the Dominican education system.<\/P>
