Piece of News

A piece of news that would like to talk about is the teacher’s mobilization. I am really concerned about the subject and I’d like to synthesize what I know about it.
The teachers, as a professional trade are demanding in general to the state a new pact between all the actors involved in the education in our country, but under the specific demand of the reparation of what they call “Historical Debt” owned to them, which is rooted in the legal changes the dictatorial government promoved.
It’s quite interesting to address that the propose a general change of our educational system, because they realize that improving the quality of it and the state intervention on the subjects It’s a way to deal with the enormous social disparities in Chile.
They have been on strike for about a month, discussing with the government and calling for several protests. This movement affects to our society in all their levels: in a local way, most of the municipal schools are closed and in some cases, the JUNAEB benefits for the students cannot be delivered and, at a greater scale, the SINCE test has not been applied and some people are worried about who this could affect the results of the PSU exam.
