Buenos Aires, Dec 13 (Prensa Latina) Former president of Ecuador Rafael Correa was invested this Friday with the Doctorate Honoris Causa of the National University Arturo Jauretche (UNAJ), on the same day as he received the same distinction from another institution.

With more than 20 doctorates to his credit, the former president, who always remembers in his speeches his passion for teaching, pointed out before a packed awards ceremony that 'education if it is not of quality, is not education. Only with better teachers will we change education. It is not enough, but necessary,' he said.

As part of the activities, Correa offered a conference on Latin American current affairs, in which he pointed out how during his administration it was possible to reduce extreme poverty, inequality and unemployment in his country.

The former president of Ecuador also received an honorary doctorate from the University of Lanus, in the province of Buenos Aires.

The outstanding Latin American leader was distinguished with that honor for 'his contribution to reaffirming Ecuadorian popular sovereignty by making visible, vindicating and dignifying the excluded social classes of that country,' and for his 'unwavering democratic spirit.'
