VENEZUELA SHOWS THAT FREE EDUCATION FOR ALL IS POSSIBLE
Higher Education in Venezuela: A New Citizen for a New Society
Currently, over 2 million Venezuelans are in higher education, compared to 600,000 in 1998, making Venezuela the country with the second largest percentage of students in the region. Since the Chávez government came to power, thirteen new universities have been created and over 1,600 university communities have been set up, which enable people to study close to where they live. Furthermore, the Venezuelan Constitution guarantees education as a human right and social duty, with the state being responsible for it.
