Ex-guerilla fighter, Jose Mujica, has been in office since 2010. He has never given up his ideals of social justice.

Many parents and teachers were initially sceptical; years without proper social policies still shape life in the slums.”I don’t want to know anything about computers. It is a child who knows something about computers and technology that throws bombs.” Yet despite early scepticism, the program is now being widely embraced. “We need to educate the children differently so that they understand the world of today.”
