Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Chilean education is known as a market-driven, segregated, and highly privatized system.These characteristics have generated a complete reconfiguration of the higher education system, which is experienced by students as inequitable and unfair.The student movement has been a key actor in responding to this system through constant and often massive protests over the past 30 years.It has been especially during the last three governments.hilean education is known as a market-driven system.The application of market policies to the higher education sector led to a highly stratified system in two ways: on the one hand, institutional stratification that reproduces a scale of academic prestige, and on the other hand, a high socioeconomic differentiation of the student population between and within institutions.This doubly stratified character of Chilean higher education determines the type of educational experience to which young people have access.
