Chile, August 5, 2011

 

Teachers, high school students and university students of Chile rejected a proposal of the Ministry of Education because it does not eliminate profit in education.

After the brutal repression in Santiago and the rest of Chile, leaving over 800 people arrested, the representatives of those sectors gave a press conference in which they asked that the protest is not attacked.

“We ratify the way of dialogue, but that dialogue should be with demonstration, because it is a right which belongs to us citizens”, said the head of the Proffesor’s School, Jaime Gajardo.

They asked for a meeting in which they reach consensus near a 21-point-petition towards an educational reform.
