School protests in Tamayo

Overview

In Tamayo, parents have initiated protests and blockades at local educational facilities to address different grievances.

At the Máximo Gómez school in Batey 2, parents blocked access to the facility to protest deteriorating infrastructure. Protesters are demanding a structural evaluation and repairs from the Ministry of Education, citing safety concerns after a portion of a classroom ceiling previously collapsed.

Simultaneously, in the Santa María community, parents and guardians locked the entrance to the Américo Lugo school. This demonstration targets the school director, Mónica Méndez Matos, over allegations of inappropriate treatment of students, teachers, and staff. The president of the Dominican Teachers Association in Tamayo reported that a formal request for the director’s removal has been submitted to the Educational District.
