Chilean students stage mass protest for education

In the Chilean capital, Santiago, tens of thousand of students and teachers have joined the march to demand education reform. This protest movement, now in its fourth month, is the biggest in Chile since the return to democracy in 1990. While the government has promised reforms such as “quality education for everyone,” many believe that these reforms do not address the fundamental problems of a system set up during the 1973-1990 military rule of Gen Augusto Pinochet. The protestors are demanding wholesale reform in Chile's education system, which they say is deeply unequal and underfunded. The system is sharply divided between private and public schools, an approach critics have labeled as "educational apartheid.” The protesters want the central government to take full control of education and increase spending on public schools.
