Brundageba Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Well in all the years of her tenure they could not manage textbooks, sanitary bathrooms and water supply and a conducive learning environment for so many poor up in the Comarca ( or in Boquete and the surrounds for that matter) .....the system lacks all the way around. Teachers up in the Comarca and students as well have to risk their lives to get to school on dangerous roads, footpaths and rivers that have to be crossed. It is shameful. The country's children deserve the ability to learn and achieve..........period. It's basic ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
