My
country is a country of teachers. It is therefore a country of peace. We discuss
our successes and failures in complete freedom. Because our country is a country
of teachers, we closed the army camps, and our children go about with books under
their arms, not with rifles on their shoulders. We believe in dialogue, in agreement,
in reaching a consensus.

too, have failed.

change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.
