One might say that winning the Nobel Peace Prize provides credit enough to Oscar Arias and the time he spent leading Costa Rica, but in reality there is so much more.
Oscar Arias is well remembered for his environmental and educational stand. He encouraged the development of teaching techology and the sciences in schools, and reformed the educational system, replacing standardized tests at the end of primary and secondary school.
He helped to aliviate Costa Rica´s debt, and managed to control and even reduce inflation. He worked to provide jobs and increase housing construction. These in turn would benefit the poor and middle class, and reduce poverty as well.
