Blog session 6: Challenges in Education.

Hello!

For this time, I'll talk about how I see the chilean education system.
In first place, I need to mention 2 things that are important to understand the educational crisis. First, the competition is a cornerstone of our education system, the students of same economic situation must compete for access to higher education. Nowadays, there're three kinds of educational institutions: Private, Particular-Subsidized and Public; but in general the students only compete with another that are in the same kind of institution. This problem is shown in the statistics of ranking of score in the PSU.

In this graph we can see the distribution of score of students from different kind of education institutions. I think that this can be resolved with a rigorous study in the education's budget, with increased funding, the public institutions can do better things that make the students have better score and future.

Secondly, the laws in education are bad or are wrong. For example, the LGE  ("Ley General de Educación") that talks how must be the quality level of each educational institution (Reference: National Library of the Chilean's Congress). This law has problems associated to the management of the institutions's funds. Besides, the supervisors are usually associated with corruption. For solve this problem, our challenge is political spaces that all the actors in the educational system could win, because we must all participate.

Thanks for reading, this was my opinion and I would like to know more about yours.

Bye!
