Description:

  • Jean Dominique entèvyouve Jacques Édouard Alexis, minis edikasyon nasyonal, sou egzamen leta ki sot pase yo. Te gen pwoblèm ak egzamen bakaloreya a, men Alexis di malgre sa egzamen yo te byen pase epi ministè a ap fè koreksyon pou elèv yo ka jwenn rezilta yo avan mwa out. Li pale sou difikilte pou ministè a mete lajan nan lekòl yo, epi pwoblèm anplwaye edikasyon nasyonal ki pwofite sou lajan k ap pase pandan sezon egzamen an pou yo fè "rekòt" lajan pou bezwen pèsonèl yo sou do leta. Alexis di yon solisyon se desantralizasyon pou rejyon yo ka pran ka bezwen edikasyon pa yo. Dominique di se sistèm divalyeris ak makout ki mete maladi magouy sa nan leta peyi a. Yon lòt pwoblèm selon Alexis se timoun ki pa lekòl. Edikasyon popilasyon an ta dwe yon priyorite pou yon demokrasi. Li denonse rimè ke li pral privatize sistèm edikasyon peyi a.

  • Jean Dominique interviews Jacques Édouard Alexis, minister of education, on recent state examinations. There were issues with the baccalaureate examination, but Alexis states that the exams went well despite this, and that the ministry will make necessary corrections to release scores by August. He discusses difficulties the ministry has faced to fund schools, and employees of the national education system who pocket government money that was supposed to be spent on exams. Alexis thinks a solution to this would be decentralization so that each region can control and provide for its own education needs. Dominique blames the Duvalierist and Macoute legacy for planting this disease of corruption in the Haitian government. Another problem according to Alexis is that school-aged children are not attending school. Education should be the priority of a democracy. He denounces rumors that he plans to privatize the national education system.

  • Jean Dominique interroge Jacques Édouard Alexis, ministre de l’éducation, sur les récents examens d’état. Il y a eu des problèmes durant les examens du baccalauréat, mais Alexis dit que malgré tout ils se sont bien déroulés et que le ministère va faire les corrections nécessaires afin que les élèves aient leurs résultats avant le mois d’Août. Il parle des difficultés du ministère à financer les écoles, et de la corruption au ministère; des employés mettent dans leurs poches l’argent qui devait être dépensé pour les examens. Alexis pense que la solution est dans la décentralisation : chaque région pourrait décider de ses besoins en éducation. Dominique dit que la corruption dans la fonction publique vient du système duvaliériste et macoute. Un autre problème, selon Alexis, est le nombre d’enfants qui ne peuvent aller à l’école. L’éducation de la population doit être une priorité dans une démocratie. Il dénonce la rumeur selon laquelle il veut privatiser le système éducatif du pays.
