In order for a nation to be competitive in the global market and for its people to be able to effectively participate in democratic life, they need high-quality universal education.
The degradation of people due to lack of education, or discriminatory laws and customs based on sex, religion, or ethnic groups still exists, overlooking the fact that in today’s global market no country can be successful without using its people’s intelligence and energy. This is one of the untenable practices of today’s world.
I am convinced that education is one of the fundamental pillars of both individual and global development, because only by means of education can one have people that are aware of their potential, free and understanding, while in charge of their own development. Only through education can one secure people capable of improving our quality of life, and collaborating in the construction of a just, fraternal, democratic, and participatory society.
