WILLEMSTAD - The number of schools in Curaçao must decrease and there should be more students in each class. This is according to the directors of two large school boards.
Edgar de Palm, director of the Roman Catholic Central School Board (RKCS) and Maghalie van der Bunt-George, director of the Protestant Christian Education Association (VPCO), say this is the only way to cut costs. This is what the directors say in response to the suggestion in the baseline measurement to merge school boards, instead of schools.
According to Van der Bunt-George, school boards have their own history and identity and cannot always go hand in hand. The VPCO director indicates that the umbrella organizations should merge their own schools as much as possible.
