They will increase the productivity of human capital, foster labor skills
and gender equality, improve the quality of education, promote
innovation and enhance public-private dialogue in key industries. In
addition, we have given priority to a number of measures that will
increase transparency and fight corruption.
In first place, our country needs to guarantee access to education and
to improve its quality. I would say we do have a pretty good coverage,
very good access, so the main issue today -I mean, Im talking about
initial, basic and secondary education- we still no have initial access to
superior, tertiary education. But in all of the cycles of life that we want
to guarantee is education with quality. In this context, we are carrying
out a comprehensive reform that includes all education levels, as well
as teachers. These changes aim at eliminating school segregation,
increasing public spending, providing incentives for the best students
to become teachers and expanding access of poorer families to tertiary
education.
I want to publicly express our gratitude to OECD for all the relevant
work done supporting this reform, with high quality policy analysis and
advice.
Second, in order to finance the educational reform, and some other
needs, the tax reform was approved last year will raise public revenue
in 3% of GDP. This additional revenue will be provided mostly by
companies and wealthier contributors, reducing some regressive traits
in our tax system.
Third, we recently sent a draft bill to Congress to reform the labor code.
The bill aims to promote labor relations based on dialogue, cooperation
and a better balance between workers and employers.
Finally, our government has announced recently that we will explore
alternatives towards the drafting of a new Constitution, one resulting
from a wide and inclusive social, political and democratic dialogue.
