Monument to the Free Schoolbook, Tijuana
The Monument to the Free Schoolbook was built in the 1960s on Agua Caliente Boulevard. The idea behind its creation was to promote free education for all Mexicans. The monument has a huge Mexican flag streaming in the wind, a schoolbook and seven children stretching their hands trying to reach it. The children show their enthusiasm for education and the point is to make education affordable for all social layers.
