I mainly read non-fiction, and that's probably because I have a huge amount of insecurity about my lack of education and the things I don't know.
I lived in Wales back in 1982 and 1983. I studied journalism at South Glamorgan Institute of Higher Education just off Newport Road in Cardiff.
To have a sense of education and ethics is important.
In general, higher education does not know how to speak for its interests. It offers a stance that is defensive, cowardly and likely to be ineffective.

Despotism is the only form of government which may with safety to itself, neglect the education of its infant poor.
Education is not Democrat versus Republican. It's about doing the right things for the right reason for our kids.
The chalkboards are no longer cutting it. We've got to adapt education at every level to this new paradigm to keep our kids competitive. Affordability of technology has to be at the forefront of everything we do.

I started the Pies Descalzos foundation in Colombia when I was 18, and since then I have been very involved in the crusade for education.
Education is the only way forward in Latin America and developing countries in general.
