Topic > Improving education in Chile - 958

I am an advisor to the International Council of Education and I present some important points that could help improve education in Chile, informing the current president of this country, Michelle Bachelet, with the intention to talk about concrete proposals to increase the quality of education. The recovery of democracy in Chile brought with it the implementation of public policies that would have contributed to reversing the situation practiced in the period of the dictatorship in which there was a significant reduction in the financial plan for the educational sector, which generated a decline and deterioration in this field; the impacts have been visible from the 1990s until today. At the beginning of the government of President Patricio Aylwin, the education system was critical and the quality of education was really poor. Therefore they have implemented programs to improve the situation of schools especially in the basic levels. Due to the slow progress of the education system, after many years, students and academics have mobilized to express their non-conformity with the imposed market model and the factors that keep the development of education halted after the military dictatorship left it to shoulders. As a result we can see one of the most expensive higher education institutions in the world, one of the most segregated in socioeconomic terms and the most dependent on funding from students' families, which have led to a situation of indebtedness for the middle class and popular sectors. People believed that the expansion of grant-aided schools would bring an improvement to Chilean education, but the opposite happened as the privatization of education was considered a big deal, and this was because paying equal share... .middle of paper ......you have less and the social injustice I have already talked about is increasing. Education reform and its investment policy could hide economic profit, greater spending, the same results. Education reform is the prey of a neoliberal economic system, through the constitutional law on teaching. The money intended for the granting of these institutions could be used to better pay teachers, increase materials for students, better infrastructure and many other things that could benefit these children who deserve equal opportunities in studies because it is mandatory and must be right for everyone. Furthermore the main idea is to ensure the quality of education, and for this, the policy recommendation is to create a public agency intended to establish standards and evaluation mechanisms to identify and support the local deficit or if it is necessary to punish it.
