The announcement of a moral revolution in government structure and progress in the educational sector are part of current Bolivian society.

In fourteen months of work and with a renewed cabinet, President Evo Morales persists in improving institutions and fighting against corruption, which were the central programs that gave him the victory in December 2005 presidential elections.

The head of State explained that in his Sunday meeting with his 16 ministers and vice ministers that he will deeply analyze public officials ethic.

The meeting will give the possibility to define the bases "for making a moral revolution of the executive power," noted Morales.

On those mainstays, this week Morales appointed the new Mining and Iron and Steel Industry minister, Luis Alberto Echazu, while he criticized the Senate of hampering the legislative projects that favor the State, with the granting of credits or the signing of 44 oil contracts.

In the social sector, the government is consolidating programs such as the national literacy campaign, which is developed with the Cuban and Venezuelan aid, and aimed at teaching 1.2 million Bolivians to read and write.
