Fortunately for us, the Chileans, we have not fall into the populism like our neighbors all bad named “progresist” (actually “regresist” because none country ruled by this ideaology has been succesful and worse yet,
Jul 24th, 2012 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0has fell it level)...
The “issue” must be the quality of the education, not the profit of the institutions....really. It won´t be good for the country to have “free” (paid by tax payers, not free really) Unis with bad quality with low level graduates instead student paids Unis with better quality graduates.
The focus must be to check the closely the Unis perfomance banning those do not acomplish the minimum required by the state regulations, even they were state ruled and to shorten the length of the college careers which is extremely long in Chile affecting the cost of them (over 5 years in average).
The communist party, which Miss Vallejos belong to, has been treating to hide the real results of the Chilean system. But, the truth come alone...The world´s Unis ranking shows that Chile´s Unis are the top in LA.....with less number of them that other bigger countries....Of course all of that top Chilean Unis are from the traditional council, where there are state ruled Unis and private ruled Unis (as the Catholics ones) that profit from the students, because they have almost over a hundred years runing, but some of the “new” private Unis have been increasing its quality and perfomance with a very good results of their graduates....as well as others have kept its poor quality (state and private Unis) that get them at the bottom of the list...
