The Chilean education


Today tell you about of education in Chile. Is difficult talk about this topic, because the education in Chile is very questionable. First there is a big difference in the education that receives all children. Being the good education a right, in the Chilean schools not teach the same. Just in the particular school and traditional state school you can be found quality education. This is general tendency. Then the people that receive good education are only they can pay this education. The variables that influence in this are many. I think that this are connected with education policy that there are in Chile. Also this are connected with teacher`s motivation and student’s motivation depending on the situation in each. This is a vicious circle.
Another problem is what is taught. The curriculum is designed by dominant part of society. It is taught mathematics, science, language… only hard science. This it is the society need for industrial production, but leave out the content that promotes personal development, for example the philosophy. The hours that dedicate to philosophy taught are less than hours to mathematics.
could go on but for now I shall leave my.
What do you think of the Chilean education?
