Enviado por jogarcia el

We have been capable of the improbable: multiplying the number of poor by fifteen in half a century. The assistance-based models failed. Harmful aid has prevailed and the results are visible: 134,825 have died due to child malnutrition during the last seven decades, 70% of the children under 17 years of age live in marginalization and only 50% of the students complete high school. The cemetery is full of people who waited for a progress that never arrived. Meanwhile, in the world, the immense majority of countries have achieved unprecedented prosperity.

"Better education offers a hope of narrowing the gap between the most and least skilled workers, of defending against the prospect of a society divided between the rich and the poor, of a class society in which an educated elite supports a permanent class of unemployed" Milton Friedman, 1998. For many years now that education in Argentina is my obsession. The quote explains why. I would dare to add that a better education offers the hope of having a country less similar to today´s Argentina.
