Chilean Education

Chilean Education.

Historically the chilean education has been unequal, this depends of the socioeconomic status of the people. Generally for to have a quality education, you must spend a lot of money on this. By contrast, if you don’t have money you can only access to a state education, that in the chilean case is very deficient.  Inside state education can be accessed to "flagship" schools, these schools are selective; you need to pass an exam where your cognitive skills are measured.

I think that the inequalities that exist in our country beginning with the educational system because access to education is defined by socioeconomic status we belong; if you born poor, you will die poor. The access to education should be free and equal of all and that according to the skills of each are development capable of attaining.

Also we are studying as machines around eleven years only to sit an exam that measures skills circumstantial (PSU), ignoring more important topics that form us as people and citizens.

In my opinion, this is an unjust and empty education, system that search it just keeps the stalled power in a few people, they favor them this system creates only producing machines.

I think that only the abolition of the current system and the implementation of a new system that does not consider people as production machines, but as a humans who need to develop different skills will make this system and our country a better place to live.
