Referring to the nearly three million votes made by the opposition Democratic Unity Table (MUD) in its internal elections of February 12, the deputy assured that it does not represent a challenge for the leader, who joins young Venezuelan daily in his favor, he emphasized.
Istúriz argued that through inclusive policies implemented by the Government in the diet of the population, the chance for obtaining the means and study materials, and the expansion of schools, the South American country ranks fifth worldwide in University registration.
To continue changing higher education in Venezuela is one of the major challenges of the administration,which measure was positively viewed by the youth, said the parliamentarian to the morning program Toda Venezuela (the whole Venezuela).

(160,541 posts)That wouldn't have happened without a huge shift in goals, from the benefits going to the oligarchs, to the whole country, which came to life as Hugo Chavez started implementing the changes he promised to acquire for the people in his first campaign.
Delivering higher education for others beyond the small elite population is absolutely nothing to sneeze at!
Thanks, dipsydoodle.
