Students and LGE
Once was released in detail the proposed General Education Law, the public debate focused on two aspects: the possibility of banning the economic benefit through education, and finish with the prerogative of the establishments to select their students . In this state of things high school students, whose position in 2006 showed no significant internal differences (mainly because they were focused on denouncing the situation of education), is now faced with assuming that represent a diverse community like the contemporary political spectrum.
The College of Teachers supported the government's position, and even proposed to carry her farther today, making the selection is removed as well in high school. For its part, the Federation of Private Education Institutions (FIDE) has expressed its opposition to the official record and postulated to be substantially modified or rejected outright. Representatives of the Alliance for Chile prepare an alternative plan and oppose even the discussion of the current project. What is the position of secondary students in this picture?
Despite the apparent diversity of approaches and political sympathies in the student ranks there were no major differences last year, which was that the demonstrations were intended only to report the status of Chilean education. Today, when there are clear proposals on the table and must decide what approach to take, the secondary movement demonstrates its heterogeneous composition.
The expectation was about the student response to the presentation of the draft LGE turned to surprise when at the end of an interview with the minister of education at the Liceo Lastarria the students' union president, Gabriel Ibáñez, declared contrary to eliminate the selection of students by the institutions, "such a move would harm the quality standards of schools like ours," say on that occasion. Then he saw that the school did not constitute a monolithic block but a community as diverse as the current political spectrum. Days later
the protagonists of last year's protests would even contradictory statements. Isamit July, former general secretary of the National Institute of CCAA and leading the organization "Young x Chile", came to disagree to put an end to profit. Educarchile interviewed said: "We believe that paid and subsidized private schools should be subject to supervision by more but we're not forcing them to become corporations, mainly because individuals generally supported are doing well." Germain
Westhoff, president of the student center of the establishment in 2006, is of the same opinion: "The profit is not negative in any circumstances, makes the tools to improve quality of education. Implementing the law could mean a recession within the system. " The bill would Westhoff's view, too many flaws that go against the constitutional values \u200b\u200bthat make it difficult for such a law can be accepted fully. "You have to give it a try because it has not addressed the central issue, continue with small approaches," he concludes.
e: How to understand your position considering that the purpose of profit was actually one of the arguments raised by stronger students in 2006? GW
- indeed took very seriously by high school students, but was addressed with a little demagoguery, it was like hitting the social block, but in practice it is almost impossible to implement. Maria Jesus Sanhueza
respond to these statements: "it is legitimate give their opinion but we must clarify that it is not the student movement, they are no longer high school students, and not because they have participated in the movement last year we will have to consult them, because otherwise we would have to agree with students 2001 that were the first to raise the LOCE reform. " Accommodating
line of the Teachers and their colleagues flagship municipal schools, the leader is not defined against the selection but believes that can not be deleted until there are new quality criteria and control mechanisms in each schools.
The disagreements between students were felt since the early year, progress against Transantiago school, several students were marginalized centers of the act and raised voices saying that the assembly had lost its way. Today the leaders of the flagship institutions cast doubt on his tenure at the ANES.
According to the executive secretary of the National Institute of CAAC, Leonardo Jofre, it is undeniable that an assessment is being done to analyze the continuity of the school in the assembly, although there is still no definite position. "The process is developing (say), is getting a vote course by course, but still there is neither a yes nor a no." The problems could have been given "by the under-representation there at the meeting, the discussions did not go through all the bases are not democratic and are leading to a flawed system with which we will get nowhere.
