Education


Education is a main topic here and everywhere, of course it must be considered as a right, giving the time we are living in, educations has become one of the most important tools to develop in life. Here in our country we have a very good example of how inappropriate some education system has become. For example it’s a whole world of difference between private and state schools, according to infrastructure, quality of teaching, relationships inside school, etc., and in the end that contributed to create not a good environment to learn for those kids. This should be taken as a main issue in our national agenda, and solve it from the very basic stuff, just like infrastructure is, and then go on to the next problems…go step by step, cause solving a little bit of everything doesn’t solve anything at all.
If I look at my own experience, I can’t complain much. I wasn’t at the very best school, but neither at the worst. I learn enough to be able to get a solid foundation.
Right now actually I’m not aware of any important project in matter of improving education, the only remarkable thing is that after the earthquake everything goes different, and a lot of student get into class only last Monday, and in modular schools (not permanent ones), as the one in the picture.
It’s a long way to Chilean education, even comparing it whit other countries of South America where education is mostly free.

  2. You are right! Education it´s a very important tool to develop our social life, but in Chile the system is terrible! I think that in fact education is taken as a main issue in national agenda, but not always that implies good project to get a solution.
