Education in Chile is in crisis. This is evident in the quality of many institutions of higher education, little access to system most vulnerable, over-indebtedness the families of students, generating profit - out of the law - by many private institutions are some of the demands required of the government of Mr. Piñera, are resolved. The main problem is the nonexistence of the right to education and the false assurance that higher education serves as a real tool of social mobility, and in this sense, it is not faithfully contributing to national development in the areas cultural, social, political and economic.
Solutions: -Equitable access, quality, integration and heterogeneity social in enrollment, this means rejecting the PSU, as this only detected socioeconomic status.
-Restructuring the system of scholarships and student aid for end the system based on debt of the student's families. Ensure that scholarships for students who fail to be in the second quintile, ie remaining in the third quintile, can cover all its university fees and the following quintiles can be a differential pay according to their ability to pay. Besides, the maintenance and feeding scholarship should be adjusted according to reality national.
-Demand the right to participation of all triestamental Higher education institutions in the election of officers and in making decisions.
This is not just a problem for students, but the entire society, because there is nofuture without quality public education.
