1 The most serious problems Colombia is facing.
I think, the most serious problems Colombia is facing, are:
Poverty: Colombia is one of the countries with greatest natural wealth, but
around the world it is one of the countries with worst poverty index; wich
means that here wealth is poorly distribuited; in our goverment, we can
make it better, working harder against poverty
Unemployment: The presidents of lasts 20 years, should to have taken
better choises signing trades like TLC which have caused a great invasion
of foreign products, generating strong competences to national products,
leading to the closure of national companies.
Corruption, that causes not reaches sufficient resources to address social
problems such as child malnutrition, to improve the quality of education,
among others; and the violence that causes displaced person.

The opportunities our country has to improve

There are a lot of opportunities we can to improve; one of them is to renegociate
treaties like TLC, we will support and to protect the farmers with laws and
education; lower taxes on national products, raise taxes on foreign products.
All Colombian may study if they want it; education with quality and accesible to
everyone.
In our government the employement will take off to higguest levels and poverty will
slow down in each regin.
If Colombia has great opportunities, it is due vast to wealth natural, but this should
to be using as advantage for all, and not allow, that foreign powers benefit our
resources, leaving us our rivers polluted and forests cut.

Other competitive advantages of the country are:

The only South American country with access to both oceans
To have the world's second largest biodiversity after Brazil.

The 55% of its population is below 30 years and seven metropolitan areas
exceed a million.

People (experts or famous) you will work with in the Presidency.

My goverment is supported by personal who really have to do his job; people like
Antanas Mockus who has an different way to think and to teach; colombian people
have to cheer up because educational index are going to grow up.
Unfortunadly, Colombia lost one of the biggest critical political, thinker, politic and
a great person Jaime Garzon; who teach us youg people should to save his own
country, because nobody else will do it.
Wilson Arias take up political career studying in the SENA; later he becomes
political activist and educator.
I would like to work hand in hand with social leaders like Gustavo Petro and Ivan
Cepeda, with professionals in different areas, making a competitive examination for
the health minister, where one can participate healthcare professionals, Finance
Minister where only they can participate economists and related professionals with
experience and trajectory in the private and public enterprise, and so with each
ministry.

Let me ask for your opinion first; Do you think education in Colombia might it better?
Of course!!! Our goverment needs to prepare in a better all the students of our nation,
because they are the future.
Our projects are based on finding the educational needs of the future; In this way we can
improve educational offerings, so that we can have people better prepared to face up new
challenges.

proven to be the primary basis on technical and technological education of their students.
I have the mission of strengthening English teaching in public primary and secondary
schools through the emphasis of education that includes more native teachers.
We aim to get children back to school after they have left. The state pays Education for All
Children under 15 years.

Health System, needs a change NOW!. We must to remove this terrible system, sick people
on this country, lose integrity just for the fact of dont have Money. If you have a lot of
Money, you must to contribute aid to the lower strata, giving them jobs, paying your taxes
