At the moment the education en Chile is one of the most important topics. The educational system have problems and this can show when we want to get something, we do it together and we would do possible and impossible ´things.
The problem related to the education have existed since immemorial times, but is more complex in Chile since the 70´s, when the Secretary of the Treasury, as a way to make better the happen of this moment, he decided privatize all, and this included the education.
One of these problems is the institutions influenced by the Economic system at the moment. Then, the origin of the actual education is with the objective of get money and this boost the inequality.
We can talk about meritocracy and we can imagine this would help us to get the equality, but appear a problem when we say all of us have the same opportunities to reach our goals. If we want to get equality related to opportunities, first we must to have the same bases in all the topics, but this won´t happen. Since the beginning, all we get is related with the money we have, and this is a limit for we want. Is probably all of us have access to education, but influenced with economy, appear different things we would get. If you want to have the best thing, you have to pay too much, because is expensive, if you don´t, you would have other thing, but this isn´t the best. The majority of the people don´t have too much money, so we have to pay the things we can pay.Now, we would imagine which we said before, but now related with the education.
As the majority the families cannot access to the best, this children study in a public school. The people all their lifes hear if they want to get something, it depends of themselves. The differences are evident when you want to study in a University. For this goal you have to compete with all the students and this include the ones of the public school and the private school, where generally you can apply a rule: while more you can pay for education, better is your education. Then, if we have the same opportunities to study in an university so, why we are less students in the university respect to the all the young people? My answer is… because we cannot access to the same opportunities, and this situation create new and more differences.
