The Chilean Education

In this post I am going to write about a theme very special in my country, it is the education.

In my country the education is in crisis, this can be for different reasons, but some undeniable is that is a crisis.

The social movement that alerted us of this crisis went the “Revolución Pingüina”, a social movement composed of high school students. They denounce the situation in that was us education: bad quality, lucre and social inequality.

For understand this problem is necessary know the form of chilean education.

The kinder garden is a things that few people understand, there are foundations, public institution and private institution that give us education in this phase, they are free of educate as they want. Before, in primary and secondary studies, there are public institutions, subsidize institutions and private institutions, in this case there is a basic national plan that they must accomplish, finally the superior education is public and private, however the public and private you must pay many money.

This economic situation reports the social segregation. We are educating children with unequal opportunities to be what they want.

I think that the problem is not only the education model, but that in economic and social model. The neoliberalism is a system that through all spheres of the life in Chile.

I would like that for the present reform of government  take into account not only the European or "developed" models to make changes, but that they think in Chile, in culture us, in history us, in nears realities to us, as Argentina, Bolivia, Perú or other country of Latin-American.
