Description
Thousands of people march in Costa Rica's capital to defend public education, one of the pillars of its historic welfare state, which has been weakened by the lack of investment from Rodrigo Chaves' government. Students, teachers, union members, and professionals fill the main avenue of San Jose in protest, demanding a larger budget for a sector that has been crucial in ensuring the country has the lowest poverty rates in Central America. The protesters express their discontent with Chaves' government's refusal to allocate 8% of GDP to education, as stipulated by the Constitution. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
