Post 3: Privatization of Public Education

I think that the privatization of public education is a fact. The military dictatorship dismantled the public education system and education became a market commodity.

The military regime of Augusto Pinochet created conditions to facilitate the reproductive capacity of the market and prevent gestation of outbreaks of social power capable of challenging the power or to intervene in him.
From my perspective the solution to this is that the state takes the role again as before, be the "State Teacher" . The state should take over as operator and become the main agent of settlement of conflicts of interest. In this way, education acquires a high degree of independence, and to the extent that society tends to revolve around politics, makes that the state is the center of social activity, the education wins in autonomy and meets requirements different orders.
I think Universidad de Chile will continue to be public in paper but not in reality, I believe this government can convert our university in a PUC or UTFSM. I hope that doesn’t happen and it achieve a greater participation of educators in educational management, better terms of education and work, and it reduce the gap in the quality of education provided to more privileged social strata with regard to the popular sectors.
