Educational reforms in chile: A look from the gender perspective

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the reforms of the educational system in Chile between 1965, under the government of Eduardo Frei Montalva; 1973, with Salvador Allende Gossens; and 1981, with the educational privatization and municipalization during the military regime of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte. These three political moments made important changes in education in Chile, expanding and establishing educational parameters that crossed those historical moments and have reached our days. However, within this issue, the gender issue was little discussed. Therefore, in this study, we will analyze how education, in these three historical periods, faced the issue of gender and educational inequalities between men and women.
