Medina is placing himself into a position of high visibility regarding his sponsorship of education. He should realize the 4% of GDP allocated to the education budget for the next fours years better not have any shortfalls as it will define him, his presidency and the party.

Should there be any shortfall at all, the opposing parties will have field day taking him and the party to task.
