Money equal Study

Chile is actually the final interpretation of what will happen if colombian educational reforms take place. Students' protests are intended to claim to the chilean government to change the current educational system which makes students and their families get into a huge debt to study. this has cost them losing their houses in order to pay a debt which increases with time.

Is this the end of Public Education?

The issue of privatization in Education is not unknown for us. Public education in Chile is now in the peak of the iceberg. 20.000 people march for something that is not a gift, is a right!!
Citizens pay taxes every year for giving to young people in Chile an opportunity to study in public universities. The worst is that 70% of students are the first generation in their families in
obtaining higher education.
