Una mejor educación es posible

"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. That is why I will dedicate this talk to propose to you how, in my opinion, it is possible to achieve it.
