By the way.... on human rights....

I found this great cartoon surfing the web....
Created by Betto (born 19 April, 1968) a Colombian cartoonist, whose work is unlimited, and as a reference, we may find him on "El Espectador" newspaper.

What relation has this cartoon with education? It's simple! Now we're dealing with elections, we must think once and over again about this decision. If we don't do it, we'll enjoy a new governamental period with lack of education development! (for children, young people, everyone!) :S

"Education should strive to promote peace and understanding among all people" What a good phrase :) Regrettably, here in Colombia education is not one of the true efforts from government to improve society. The recent Education Plan (launched by the MEN "Ministerio de Educación Nacional") is like a dream, but when it's time to see the reality, there is nothing but a great and lovely idea. The access to education is difficult for a large amount of people, and what happens mostly is that education is offered, but its quality is getting worse. Also, what deserves recognition is slowly being silenced.

Education is the real weapon to fight ignorance, war, violence,just as well as love and respect. There should be more productive educational plans to include everyone on the process to restart our education into a higher position. And it isn't only about mathematics or languages ( I mean, primary and secondary, university studies or technical ones), it must include support for families to guide them through this process of being the centre of society: because education starts with family, and it will be reflected in our development in the community.
