Chile to end private education
Chile to end private education
Apr 18,2014
SANTIAGO, April 17 (Xinhua) -- Chilean Education Minister Nicolas Eyzaguirre Thursday reaffirmed the government's commitment to ending private education.
"The pursuit of profit is not a good objective for educational institutions. It is not a good ally of a good education," Eyzaguirre told a press conference.
The administration of President Michelle Bachelet, who took office in March, has proposed an ambitious overhaul of the education system to provide affordable, quality education, as demanded by a national student movement launched in 2011.
The government's proposed reforms basically call for greater public spending on education, free primary education, and an end to state-subsidies of private schools and to profit-oriented universities.

Perseverance pays off. 
Lets hope the leftist elements in the government keep the pressure on, and the process meaningful.
They would have done it long ago if it hadn't been for Nixon, Kissinger, CIA, Milton Friedman, Pinochet and all the torture and murder any fascist hearts could relish. Just a short 41 year lapse before they could start rebuilding what was violently, brutally, savagely stolen at the cost of so many broken lives and hearts, and so much blood flowing upon the earth, and bodies floating down the Mapocho River.

And our tax dollars helped!
I looked up the names of the people on the wall of the river:
Michel Nash was assassinated after being drafted into the Army because he refused orders to break down doors and seize Chilean citizens. Rafael Pellegrin and Cecilia Magni were tortured and assassinated, then their bodies were thrown into the river.
People in Santiago, Chile became accustomed to seeing bodies float down the river as they walked on the city sidewalks, or crossed the bridges. There's at least one of these actual photos I've seen on the internet years ago of people walking, and staring at the body of a young man as it sailed by them below in the river. So damned ugly.
