QCOSTARICA — Authoritarian language and constant confrontations between President Rodrigo Chaves and other powers of the Republic are delaying the execution of policies, according to a study released by the Universidad Nacional (UNA).

In the case of the Judicial Branch, criticism is directed toward its different institutions: from the Full Court to the Constitutional Chamber and the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ).
In this context, the study determines that an economic model has been established, “where social investment becomes a subsidiary element within the logic of government policies.”
Although the Ministry of Finance has made efforts to reduce the fiscal deficit, there is no clear strategy that allows for establishing specific objectives.
“The debt that exists towards the sectors with less access to opportunities is greater and will have repercussions in the coming years, not only with an educational blackout, but with a paralysis of a part of the educational and social system,” the analysis indicates.
Problems in school reintegration, the lack of training of academic personnel, the delay in the introduction of new technologies for the teaching process and the little promotion of reading are part of the symptoms that are being perceived.
Added to this are the problems in implementing a strategy towards bilingualism and the constant reduction in the resources destined to finance public education, including the negotiation of the Special Fund for Higher Education.
