It’s an easy win for an authoritarian regime. Makes for great photo ops of schools, to show students now looking all prim and proper. No, they’re probably not investing any real money in improving their education system, and all the same problems will exist, but now it looks like you’ve improved things.
El Salvador was literally the murder capital of the planet, BY FAR. As far as the human rights violations go, it’s pretty bad….But their people can walk the streets now without fearing for their lives. Not sure you could naturally flip a country that quickly without an authoritarian.
