Think of thousands of thousands of young people eager to study at a university. Think of high fees as their main obstacle and loans as their only possibility to study. Think of families and students themselves struggling everyday not to leave the university. Think of those students twenty years later paying for the only possibility they had to study, most of them without having finished their careers. Think this have been happening for more than twenty years in a country named Chile, with seventeen millions of inhabitants and a prosperous economy. Do you think we have some things in common with our Latin American neighbors?
I like the way you make us think about the situation that many students are living in Chile, it is a dilemma wanting to study and have to pay for something that we deserve. And I agree, Chile reflects a global problem in Latin America.
