Bad education

In my country, the education is inserted by neoliberal system logics. Thanks to last dictatorship, scholar and social inequalities have been marked by the social or university privatization, causing social injustices and planting the meritocracy based on free market economy.

The thief

Thanks to student movement from 2011, the actual government stakes to educational reforms that breaks this inequality. However, students and teachers have not been systematically and consistently backed by “Nueva Mayoría”, centre-left political alliance formed by Socialist Party (PS), Christian Democracy (DC), Communist Party (PC), Party for the Democracy (PPD), among others. For this reason, in Chile are strikes and marches.

In my opinion, I support this movement because I think that’s unacceptable be a student and do anything for change our deplorable situation. In Chile, the bad education implies repudiate our history, our ethnic roots, a feminist sexual education and our politic culture. All these issues are necessary change through new models of teaching and learning and we, like students and teachers, are the ones to make realty this change. For this reason, the strikes and marches are principal ways to building awareness for the rest.
