Education in Chile: the present

Hi everybody!
Today I want to speak about a very very important topic to the chilean society: Education.

Lately, there has been too much controversy by the Educational Reform implemented by the President Michelle Bachelet, because it includes pre-school, primary, secondary, and higher education (Universities, Professional Institutes, and Technical Schooling Centers). 

I think, this reform was made by the government in a fastest way, and they didn't think about all the implication and consequences of this. They heard ''we want free and quality in education'' in the demonstrations, and they said ''we can have gratuity, like Argentina, why we not?''.

But now we are living the consequences: the promise of free education for higher education is not for all  (Professional Institutes and Technical Schooling Centers were not benefited), the budget isn't enough and for this, they deleted some important scholarships. But this fight was not have been possible without ''Penguins Revolution'', they are the fathers of the struggle for to get a better education in Democracy context. They put the theme in discussion in 2006, and they started the 'Student Movement' of twenty first century, who still alive, and revives in situations like this. 

There are some people who participed in the student movement and now try to change the actual education system, like Giorgio Jackson, Camila Vallejos and Gabriel Boric, or that is the reason why they entered to politics like deputies, because inside this group, they can influence and make changes. I think they tried, but they are very few in comparison with others diputied who don't benefit with these changes, and prefer to keep the actual system.  

I think strikes and demonstrations only serve to press and obtain little things in a short time, but not to make profound changes. Structural changes are made from politics, by congressman, senators and deputies. We, as students, can make demonstrations in the streets to tell the population what happen with us, but with a strike we won't change the system.
Only inside the politic we can make structural changes, but it is a dilemma because young people dismiss this way, because they are tired of seeing corruption, so they are not interested in politics, but is the only real and legal way that I see. But, that is my opinion.

I hope you have a great weekend, don't stress, and live happy.
Bye!
