My step for the university is special for me because in once that enter in this, you discover the inequiality inside of the institution and the most important, the inequiality inside of the system of education in general. Although the Universidad de Chile is a public university or rather a state university, the entry to this is much more easy for the persons that recived a good education during the school, and in general, this persons are those that have higher economic returns. A proposal of the students of Chile with respect to the state universities is about the neccesary strengthening of public education to transversal level, providing access to the popular class to the superior education in the state universities.
I can speak about the faculty when I study. In FACSO there are many problems, for example, of infraestructure, missing classroms.
Also, every year the enrollment and the tariff to pay increase, which means that there are many persons that meet out of the possibility of enter to superior education.
In all these aspects there is a factor in common, the social inequiality or the structural violence of the system.
In a country as Chile, such privatized and commodified even the education is a goods. It all depends on the social class of the person and of their family.
For all these reasons, is imperative that the students continue with the historic demands and support the belief of replace the parameters of the education in Chile, understanding that the education is a right, and not a consumer good.
