education

There is a serious problem in our country, and is the education. We know the extremely differences in the quality between public schools (or private here) and municipal schools. The first ones are very expensive so a little part of Chile can pay for it, and the second ones are for everyone but they are bad quality.

Nowadays the education is an economic commodity, and depends on the money that you have what education you can receive. That is very wear, because the education is a right, but the government doesn’t understand that.

The problem with this big difference, it is if someone born poor, receive a bad education, can’t go to university, so it is not going to have a good salary, so still been poor. And in the same way with rich people, receive a very good education, can go to university and have good jobs with good salaries. The education invest in the big social difference of our country, this vicious circle benefit the actual rich people, who are the same who run this country, and I don’t understand if they don’t want to change this situation because they could been badly affected or it is because they don’t care because they are not affected with the problem.

In the lasts years this problem show up in the awareness of Chilean people, especially young people, students of school and university, but we don’t see too much changes in the system. We still have high tuition and everyone ends the university in debt for a lot of years.

I know that it can’t be any change from one day to another, but we still have the hope that it can change from the futures generations, we only have to still trying, but everybody is to disappointing and tired that the force that this movement have in 2011 it’s been losing. But this could change!
