Bachelet promised free education for all Chileans
Last July 22 President Michelle Bachelet said that Chile will “have free higher education for all young people” and that in this year they will send the draft with the principles and mechanisms to implement the regulations.
Bachelet alse referred to the points that the government will take into account to make a successful educational reform, recognizing that “it is a complex task.”
“First, quality education; second, free, free for you to study, for you to receive public funding at all levels, and I say it again so no one remains in doubt: there will be free education for all young people studying,” she said.
While Naschla Aburman, president of the Federacion de Estudiantes de la Universidad Catolica (FEUC), said the “distrust” continues, which is why students will keep watching the process in order to have “transparency” in the reform.
