is already over a month since the students, especially middle school, have launched protests this year. Of course, began with great weakness, no concrete proposals, without organization and calling attention to the lack of coordination with marching and the large numbers of detainees who threw the first marches. However, south of the Chilean capital, Lota students complaining about the poor conditions that housed their schools. And maybe the first results trigger the need for the rest of the students to raise their demands correspond directly, such as:
- free passes for public transport;
- University Selection Test (PSU) at no cost to the participants (its value ranges from $ 19,660 to $ 26,600 by year of graduation from high school )
- Reform full school day;
- Changing the Constitutional Organic Law of Education (LOCE).
In general, a critique of the quality of education and inequality both in resources and opportunities to access higher education.
students have already moved in years above, but many times is the idea that simply follow university demonstrations or express some concrete and specific requirements. However, I was struck by the mainstreaming of the demands that are now in play, as not only involve a solid knowledge of many subjects, but are shared by students in public high schools, subsidized and private, with all its nuances about politics. In addition, the government itself has stirred the chicken, because the ruling coalition MPs have expressed support and appreciation to the student movement.
The government has responded with a show of force, ignoring the students education half and then threatening to marginalize the discussion of the demands on students mobilized. But going more than 100 educational establishments in the country who have joined with strikes or shots, which could indicate that young people themselves are willing to organize and participate in collective processes and, more importantly, want to make known their views and their own reality show. In the portal educarchile wonder what's behind the protests of high school students . Point, basically, that there are young people willing to engage in public affairs but who are known outside the circles of power, they are the ones who decide for them. It is necessary that we as a society we take care of our problems and we share that we face elsewhere. It is very important, then, that students are organized and the problems that arise daily, and those reasons must be reciprocated by taking care of these demands. Better yet if each sector expressed their own, perhaps at that moment we understand that problems are not everyone.
