 Theoretical Framework
The education system of the Dominican Republic is organized into three levels:
primary, secondary, and higher education. Primary education is compulsory and free,
consisting of eight years divided into two cycles of four years each. Secondary
education is also free and consists of four years, divided into two cycles of two years
each: basic and middle. Higher education includes universities and higher education
institutions, offering a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs.

The education system in the United States is diverse and decentralized, with shared
responsibility between the federal, state, and local governments. It comprises three
levels: primary, secondary, and higher education. Primary and secondary education is
compulsory and generally organized into 12 grades, starting with kindergarten and
culminating in the twelfth grade. Higher education includes a wide range of
institutions, such as public and private universities, community colleges, and
specialized universities, offering undergraduate and graduate programs.

Identification of Key Aspects for Comparison:

Structure of the Education System: The stages, duration, and structure of the
education systems of both countries will be compared, including the organization of
primary, secondary, and higher education.

Access and Equity: Access to education in terms of opportunities, gender equality,

inclusion of minorities and marginalized populations, as well as policies and
programs to ensure equity in education, will be analyzed.

Quality of Education: The quality of education will be evaluated based on indicators

such as student academic performance, teacher training, available educational
resources, and results of national and international assessments.

Funding and Resources: The education funding systems, including public and private
investment, fund distribution mechanisms, and resources available to support
education in both countries, will be compared.

Outcomes and Challenges: Educational outcomes, current challenges, and reform

initiatives in each education system will be examined, identifying areas of success
and areas requiring improvement.

7
 Findings and conclusions of the research
The main difference between college and university in the American
context:
​
In the United States, the main difference between colleges and universities lies in
their academic offerings and degree levels. Generally, a college typically offers
undergraduate programs and awards bachelor's degrees, while a university offers
both undergraduate and graduate programs, including master's and doctoral
degrees. Universities often have multiple colleges or schools within them, each
specializing in different academic fields. Additionally, universities typically have
larger campuses, more extensive resources, and conduct more research compared
to colleges.

Differences between state colleges and private colleges:

State colleges, also known as public colleges or universities, are funded by state
governments and often offer lower tuition rates for in-state residents. These
institutions are typically larger and may have multiple campuses within a state. State
colleges often prioritize access to education for state residents and may have
specific admissions criteria for in-state versus out-of-state students.

On the other hand, private colleges are funded by private sources, such as tuition
fees, donations, and endowments. They tend to have higher tuition costs compared
to state colleges but may offer more financial aid opportunities. Private colleges
often have smaller class sizes, more personalized attention, and may specialize in
particular academic areas or religious affiliations.

Similarities and differences between grades and titles of the US system

and the Dominican system:

In the United States, the educational system typically includes grades K-12 for
primary and secondary education, followed by higher education at the college or
university level. The degrees awarded in the US system include:
● Associate's degree (usually two years of study)
● Bachelor's degree (usually four years of study)
● Master's degree (additional 1-3 years of study beyond a
bachelor's degree)

8
 ● Doctoral degree (additional 3-7 years of study beyond a
bachelor's degree)

In the Dominican Republic, the educational system includes primary education

(grades 1-6), secondary education (grades 7-12), and higher education at the
university level. The titles and degrees awarded in the Dominican system may
include:
● Licenciatura (equivalent to a bachelor's degree)
● Maestría (equivalent to a master's degree)
● Doctorado (equivalent to a doctoral degree)

Both systems have similarities in the progression of education from primary to

higher education levels, but the titles and degrees may vary slightly.

The educational system in the Dominican Republic is organized into levels including
early childhood, primary, secondary, and higher education. In contrast, the
educational system in the United States is divided into preschool, primary, secondary,
and postsecondary education, including higher education in universities and
colleges. Both systems have similarities in terms of education levels but differ in the
structure and organization of each level, as well as in the duration and graduation
requirements.

Educational resources available in the Dominican Republic include school

infrastructure, teaching materials, and teacher training. However, challenges persist
in terms of equitable access, quality, and availability of resources in rural and
marginalized areas. In the United States, educational resources vary depending on
geographical location and funding of educational institutions. Disparities in school
funding can affect the quality and equity of education.

Evaluation of Educational Outcomes and Graduation Rates:

Graduation rates in the Dominican Republic have improved in recent decades but still
face challenges in terms of school dropout and access to higher education. In the
United States, graduation rates vary by state and demographic group, with significant
disparities among students of different races and socioeconomic levels. The quality
of education and student support plays a crucial role in graduation rates in both
systems.

Educational policies in the Dominican Republic and the United States have evolved to
address challenges such as equity, quality, and access to education. In the
Dominican Republic, educational reforms have sought to improve the quality of

9
education and expand access to higher education. In the United States, educational
policies have addressed issues such as academic standards, teacher performance
evaluation, and equity in school funding. However, challenges persist in the
implementation and effectiveness of these policies in both systems.

Duties of the US Department of Education:

The U.S. Department of Education is responsible for overseeing federal education

policies and programs, administering federal financial aid programs, and enforcing
federal laws related to education. Some of its main duties include:
● Providing financial assistance to eligible students through
grants, loans, and work-study programs.
● Establishing policies and regulations for education institutions
that receive federal funding, including accreditation standards.
● Collecting and disseminating educational data and statistics to
inform policy decisions.
● Promoting equal access to education and enforcing civil rights
laws to prevent discrimination in educational settings.
● Supporting state and local education agencies in improving
student achievement and ensuring accountability in education
outcomes.
● Administering programs aimed at improving teacher quality,
enhancing educational technology, and promoting innovation in
education.
​
How is the US higher education system ruled:
​
The US higher education system is governed by a combination of federal, state, and
institutional regulations and policies. At the federal level, the U.S. Department of
Education plays a significant role in setting national education policies, administering
federal financial aid programs, and enforcing federal laws related to education.
Federal agencies also provide funding for research and support programs aimed at
improving higher education outcomes.

State governments have authority over public colleges and universities within their
jurisdictions. They provide funding, establish tuition policies, and may set
requirements for admission, curriculum standards, and accreditation. State higher
education agencies often coordinate with institutions to ensure compliance with
state regulations and to allocate resources effectively.

10
Individual colleges and universities have their governance structures, including
boards of trustees or regents, administrators, and faculty senates or councils. These
institutions establish their academic programs, admission criteria, tuition rates, and
policies governing student conduct and academic standards. They also seek
accreditation from regional or national accrediting agencies to ensure the quality and
credibility of their programs.
​
Comparison between the US higher education system and the
Dominican system:
​
The US higher education system and the Dominican system share some similarities
but also have significant differences:

● Structure: Both systems offer undergraduate and graduate programs, but the
structure and organization may differ. In the US, universities often have
multiple colleges or schools within them, while in the Dominican Republic,
universities may offer programs through faculties or departments.

● Degree Levels: Both systems award bachelor's, master's, and doctoral

degrees, but the titles and specific requirements may vary. For example, the
US system typically awards Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science
(B.S.) degrees, while the Dominican system may award Licenciatura degrees.

● Funding: In the US, higher education institutions receive funding from federal
and state governments, tuition fees, donations, and endowments. In the
Dominican Republic, funding sources may include government subsidies,
tuition fees, and private donations.

● Access and Equity: Both systems strive to promote access to higher

education and ensure equity in educational opportunities. However, disparities
in access and resources may exist, particularly in terms of funding,
infrastructure, and educational outcomes.

● Regulation: While both systems have regulatory bodies and accreditation

processes to ensure quality and accountability, the specific regulations and
oversight mechanisms may differ. In the US, accreditation is typically
conducted by regional or national accrediting agencies recognized by the
Department of Education, while in the Dominican Republic, accreditation may
be overseen by national or regional authorities.

11
Overall, the US higher education system tends to be more decentralized and diverse,
with a greater emphasis on academic freedom and institutional autonomy. In
contrast, the Dominican system may have a more centralized structure with stronger
government oversight and control over higher education institutions.

Racism American colleges

Racism continues to be a significant issue in many American colleges and

universities. While progress has been made in promoting diversity and inclusivity on
campuses, incidents of racial discrimination, harassment, and bias still occur.

Students of color, particularly Black, Indigenous, and Latinx students, often face
systemic barriers to access, retention, and success in higher education. These
barriers can manifest in various forms, including admissions discrimination, racial
profiling, microaggressions, and disparities in academic outcomes.

Colleges and universities have implemented various initiatives and policies to

address racism and promote equity and inclusion. These efforts include diversity
training for faculty and staff, multicultural programming, support services for
underrepresented students, and the establishment of diversity, equity, and inclusion
offices or committees.
However, challenges persist, and achieving racial equity in higher education requires
ongoing commitment and concerted efforts from all stakeholders, including
administrators, faculty, students, and policymakers.

Racism Dominican colleges

It exists as a societal issue in the Dominican Republic, and its manifestations can
also be observed within the college environment. Discrimination based on race or
ethnicity may occur in various forms, including unequal treatment, stereotyping, or
lack of representation and inclusivity in educational settings. While efforts may be
made to address these issues, systemic challenges and biases can still persist
within Dominican colleges, affecting the experiences of students and faculty from
marginalized racial or ethnic groups

Are American universities too expensive for the average family?

​
The affordability of American universities varies depending on various factors,
including the type of institution, location, and financial aid availability. However, for
many families, especially those with moderate to low incomes, the cost of attending
college can be prohibitively expensive.

12
Tuition and fees at both public and private universities have risen significantly in
recent years, outpacing inflation and wage growth. Additionally, other expenses such
as room and board, textbooks, and personal expenses can further contribute to the
overall cost of attendance.
While financial aid programs, including grants, scholarships, and loans, aim to make
college more affordable, many students still graduate with substantial student loan
debt. This debt burden can have long-term financial consequences and may deter
some students from pursuing higher education or completing their degrees.

The rising cost of college has led to concerns about access and equity, particularly
for students from low-income backgrounds or underrepresented minority groups.
Efforts to address college affordability include expanding need-based financial aid,
reducing tuition and fees, increasing state funding for public universities, and
advocating for policy reforms to lower the overall cost of higher education.

How about Dominican Republic?

The cost of attending universities can vary depending on factors such as the
institution, program of study, and financial aid availability. While some public
universities may offer more affordable tuition fees, private universities tend to have
higher costs that may pose financial challenges for the average family.

Additionally, expenses related to textbooks, transportation, and living

accommodations can further strain family budgets. As a result, accessing higher
education may indeed be financially burdensome for many families in the Dominican
Republic, limiting opportunities for socio-economic advancement.

Ivy League

The term "Ivy League" refers to a group of eight prestigious private universities in the
United States known for their academic excellence, selective admissions processes,
and long-standing traditions. The Ivy League institutions are:
● Brown University
● Columbia University
● Cornell University
● Dartmouth College
● Harvard University
● University of Pennsylvania
● Princeton University
● Yale University

13
The term "Ivy League" originated from the Ivy-covered walls of these universities'
historic buildings. While the Ivy League schools compete athletically in various
sports, the term primarily denotes their academic and social prestige.
​
How are American colleges governed:

American colleges and universities are governed by a combination of internal and

external bodies, including:

● Board of Trustees or Regents: Most colleges and universities have a

governing board responsible for overseeing the institution's operations,
setting policies, and making major decisions. Trustees or regents are
typically appointed or elected and may include alumni, community
members, and business leaders.

● President or Chancellor: The chief executive officer of a college or

university, often appointed by the board of trustees, is responsible for
overseeing the institution's day-to-day operations, implementing
policies, and representing the institution to external stakeholders.

● Faculty Senate or Assembly: The faculty, as represented by a senate or

assembly, plays a significant role in shared governance. Faculty
members participate in decision-making processes related to
academic programs, curriculum development, and institutional policies.

● Administration: College and university administrators, including deans,

provosts, and department chairs, are responsible for managing specific
academic or administrative areas within the institution. They work
closely with faculty, staff, and students to implement institutional goals
and policies.

● Accrediting Agencies: External accrediting agencies evaluate colleges

and universities to ensure they meet certain standards of academic
quality and institutional effectiveness. Accreditation is essential for
institutions to receive federal funding and maintain academic
credibility.

● State and Federal Government: Public colleges and universities receive

funding and oversight from state governments, which may establish
regulations, allocate funding, and set policies affecting higher
education. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education oversees

14
 federal higher education policies and programs, including student
financial aid and civil rights enforcement.
​
Types of organizations to associate college students:

● Student Government Associations (SGA): These organizations represent the

interests of students on campus. They often organize events, advocate for
student needs, allocate funds to student clubs, and serve as liaisons between
students and the administration.

● Academic Clubs and Honor Societies: These clubs are centered around

​

The comparison between the educational

systems of the United States and the Dominican
Republic
​ This study reveals several significant implications for both nations:
​
​ Differences in structure and organization: While the U.S. educational system is
characterized by diversity and decentralization, with a wide range of public
and private institutions, the Dominican Republic faces challenges in
consolidating a national university model that effectively meets the country's
needs.
​
​ Access and equity: Although access to higher education in the United States
is broad, affordability remains a concern, especially for low- and
middle-income families. In contrast, the limited availability of doctoral
programs in the Dominican Republic and the concentration of institutions in
urban areas may restrict access to higher education in some regions of the
country.
​
​ Quality and academic excellence: U.S. universities, especially those in the Ivy
League, are internationally recognized for their academic excellence and

16
 research resources. In comparison, the lack of doctoral programs in the
Dominican Republic and the low proportion of faculty with doctoral degrees
may affect the quality of higher education in the country.
​ Internationalization and collaboration: The internationalization of higher
education is an important element in both countries. While the United States
attracts students from around the world and fosters international
collaboration in research and academic programs, the Dominican Republic
seeks to strengthen its collaboration with foreign universities to develop
doctoral programs and enhance the quality of higher education.

17
 Challenges and Opportunities:
The educational systems in both the Dominican Republic and the United States face
significant challenges. In the Dominican Republic, issues such as access to quality
education, regional disparities, and high dropout rates pose major challenges.
Similarly, in the United States, disparities in educational outcomes based on
socioeconomic status, racial inequalities, and funding disparities are pressing
issues.

Exploration of Improvement Opportunities:

Despite these challenges, there are opportunities for improvement and collaboration
between the two systems. Both countries can benefit from sharing best practices,
resources, and innovative educational approaches. Collaborative efforts in teacher
training, curriculum development, and technology integration can enhance
educational quality and equity in both nations.

Discussion on Socioeconomic and Cultural Factors:

Socioeconomic and cultural factors significantly influence education in both

countries. In the Dominican Republic, poverty, limited access to resources, and
cultural norms may hinder educational attainment, particularly among marginalized
communities. Similarly, in the United States, socioeconomic status, racial
discrimination, and cultural differences impact educational opportunities and
outcomes. Addressing these factors through targeted policies and interventions is
essential to promote equity and excellence in education.

18
 Conclusion
The comparison between the educational systems of the Dominican Republic and
the United States reveals several key findings. Both countries face challenges related
to access, equity, and quality in education, albeit in different contexts. While the
Dominican Republic struggles with regional disparities and limited resources, the
United States grapples with socioeconomic inequalities and racial disparities.

Despite these challenges, there are opportunities for improvement and collaboration
between the two systems. Sharing best practices, resources, and innovative
approaches can enhance educational outcomes and promote equity in both nations.
Moreover, addressing socioeconomic and cultural factors is crucial to ensure that all
students have equal access to quality education.

The implications of these findings extend beyond academia to policy and practice.
Policymakers and educators must prioritize investments in education, particularly in
marginalized communities, to close the achievement gap and foster social mobility.
Additionally, fostering collaboration between countries can lead to mutually
beneficial outcomes and promote global understanding and cooperation.
