According to Venezuela's National Institute of Statistics, poverty has decreased during Chavez's presidency from 42 percent in 1999 to roughly 35-38 percent in 2005. Upon election, Chavez promptly eliminated fees for public schools and created volunteer-based schools in rural communities to widen education access. In an infamous "oil-for-services" program, he sold oil to Cuba at a favorable rate in exchange for Cuban doctors to provide health care to Venezuelans who would otherwise have none.
