"The greatest Chilean of all time"

When I thing about important Chilean figures, there aren’t much names on my mind, but there is someone who I think immediately, and that’s Pedro Aguirre Cerda. He was the president of Chile in the year 1938, his government was the start of the radical period. Something that make special his government was the preoccupation for the educational system, and he made a lot of acts to promote this, some of those were, upgrading the infrastructure, creating new schools, promoting the formation of the students. Also, Aguirre create the CORFO, an organization that develop the national industry, generating jobs for the people, and making Chile more independent economically. Thanks to those acts the country improve economically and socially, sadly Aguirre died 2 years after his investment, without completing his term.

The reason why I think he was so important, is because he was focused on something different than any other politician, the preoccupation for the educational system is something that since the military dictatorship, has been lost, and is one of the biggest problems of our country today. The educational system of a country is very important, because the children are the ones who grown to become part of the society, and then, are they the ones who will change it, so, the way they grown, is determinant to the future of a country.
