The quality of public education is everyone’s responsibility. Puerto Rico’s public education system is in a crisis and our children are not the only ones falling behind. Rising crime, teen pregnancy and illiteracy rates have become part of our reality. Schools in Puerto Rico are not showing any progress and this comes to high social cost.

	Puerto Rico is the third largest school district in the United States. It has approximately 560,000 students, 1,523 schools and 42,000 teachers.
	According to the Puerto Rican Scholastic Achievement Tests, 45% of students are not proficient in Spanish, 40% are not performing at grade level in English and 45% do not possess adequate math skills
	More than half of the schools in Puerto Rico have failed to meet the minimum achievement standards stipulated by the federal No Child Left Behind Act for at least two consecutive years.

Sapientis is a non-profit organization that works to improve the quality of public education in Puerto Rico. We are building a movement that advocates for positive change in Puerto Rico’s education system. We believe that the key to success lies in bringing the different sectors of society together to solve the problems we face today.
