The great gap between public and private education

 

Howdy, dear readers, today I will share with you a little reflection on education in Chile.

You may have read my previous blog about the Chilean health system. Well, what I come to write today is something quite similar.

Unfortunately, as in health, in this country there is a very marked gap in the education system according to the economic level of each subject. All this can be seen in the enormous difference between public and private schools.

This disparity is reflected in all areas: the system and quality of education received, the infrastructure, the services and materials available, etc. However, sadly it is not only that, since all this sum of differences also marks a big gap in the future of the students. This is how later the same young people who graduated from private schools reach the highest positions in any job (although many times they do not even deserve it) and, therefore, ensure a comfortable life, a situation that, unfortunately, rarely happens with young people who leave public schools, even when they have all the capabilities. This makes me think that, unfortunately, the school you come out of and the respective education you receive in it (which as I said is very different) marks your future, clearly in a situation where people with more money have greater comforts and privileges.

For all this I believe that in the Chilean educational system there must be a structural change that guarantees a quality and equal education for all children and young people in the country, without differentiating by social and economic class, and I hope that this really happens.

Well, this has been my little reflection on the Chilean education system and its big gap, thank you very much for reading, we are seeing each other (or reading actually) in a future blog :)
