As A Major Economic Force Worldwide, India

All Boys And Girls Should Have The Opportunity To Receive A High-quality Education, No Matter What Part Of The Country They Live In And Irrespective Of Whether Their Parents Are Rich Or Poor. It Is The State's Duty To Make Sufficient Money Available For The Establishment Of Good Public Schools. A Well-educated Youth Is Crucial So That Chile Can Continue To Grow Economically.

Given Political History In Chile, It Seemed To Me That There Was A Critical Task Of Consolidating A Democracy And Creating Healthy Civic-military And Political-military Relationships.

I Made An Effort To Ensure Social Safeguards. But Our Economy Has To Grow - And Chile, With A Population Of 17 Million, Cannot Depend Entirely On Its Domestic Market. Which Is Why The Decision To Focus On Exports, Made At The Beginning Of The Democratic Era, Was The Correct One. We Are Continuing To Do So. For A Long Time, Chile Has Been Successful In Combating Poverty. But Now We Must Focus More On Fighting Inequality.

There Has Been A Cultural Shift. It Is Difficult To Measure All That Right Now, But Chilean Women Have Seen My Presidency As A Source Of Pride. Women Are Performing In Jobs In Chile Now That 20 Or 30 Years Ago Nobody Would Have Dared To Imagine.

Educational Equality Doesn't Guarantee Equality On The Labor Market. Even The Most Developed Countries Are Not Gender-equal. There Are Still Glass Ceilings And 'leaky Pipelines' That Prevent Women From Getting Ahead In The Workplace.
