One of the key factors behind this victory was the successful response of the government to natural disasters, such as floods, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Freire’s literacy programmes for empowering peasants are now used in countries all over the globe, and Pedagogy of the Oppressed is currently the third most cited work in the social sciences, and first in the field of education.
