Content Provider	OECD iLibrary
Organization	OECD
Abstract	This chapter gives a description of participation in and provision of higher education in the Dominican Republic. It discusses admissions criteria and selection processes, student retention and students’ preparedness for higher education; which lead the review team to the following conclusions: (i) lack of preparedness of students transferring from the general education system into higher education; (ii) importance of providing relevant information, career orientation and counselling services to students both before they enter higher education and again as part of student support services for new entrants; and (iii) absence of accurate comparable data from HEIs to facilitate policy making, either because data is not being collected or is not being made available to the Statistics Department of the Ministry.
