Chilean education policy between the student movement of 2011 and reformist debates of 2014

Abstract

This text, having the characteristics of an essay, is contextualized in the political scene of the present day Chilean society which has left behind the ghosts of dictatorship. This society can debate critical questions regarding its social organization, essentially referring to the field of educational which has been from beginning of this millennium the critical subject of notable social movements. The debates are situated at a strategically important point: they refer to corrections to the market or, definitively, a shifting of the paradigm in the sector. Taking this into consideration, the key points in dispute are exposed and possible ways to follow up are here described.
