An historical Chilean

Hi there guys,

When I refer to famous people, I have to mention that there is a long list of them, but in my personal opinion, the greatest Chilean of all time may be the former president Pedro Aguirre Cerda, who lead the country from 1938 to 1941. His government is considered one of the most important periods in Chile’s history cause of the emphasis on the educational area and politics heavily focused to consolidate an internal (national) industrialization. The education change processes were known by a phrase that the president said in an occasion and with time it was considered as a campaign support; he said “to gobernate, is to educate”. In the second topic about the industrial area, the politics were known by its focus directed to grow the diversity and value of the manufacturing industries, based on a gradual replacement of foreign imports and so to reach and create more working slots. I think this was a very important period to take good examples in order to focus specific and important public policies that may affect most part of the country inhabitants. For the same reason, If Pedro Aguirre Cerda would still alive, I will really like to ask him many things to stop some bad and incorrect ways to take social, political and economic topics like the recent conflict between the state and its education ministry and most part of the teachers from public schools and their demands through the country.
