In Ben Fountain's excellent book "
'Brief Encounters with Che Guevara'
A certain Haitian , called Laurent who has fantasies of becoming President  is 
in Cuba talking to Che Guevara .
Che asks Laurent , 'what is the first priority of government?What is the first 
thing would do if you were President of Haiti?
" 'Education' ,  Laurent answers at once,'I would build schools, Commandante 
Guevara.To raise the awareness of the people.'

'Good answer',he said ,'but wrong.Before schools, before medcine, before 
anything, there must be security.Security is the pre-condition for all other 
advances'
