During the last weeks Chilean students have been marching thorough Santiago streets as a way to protest against private polices of education. Nothing far from our own situation where government tries to implement a model of a "educational credit benefit" turning education into an expensive utopia if you don't want to get an eternal debt.
Colombian situation is not far from Chile situation and that’s why Last September the 7th Colombian streets, once again, were the scenario where students, professors and workers among others manifested their unconformity about “Reforma a la ley 30” that government wants to carry out.
But, if we take a look at other countries’ situation, we can see this is not a new thing, since long time ago in United States, for example, those kinds of neoliberal policies were implemented promising benefits for everybody. But, we can see (that) these benefits were just false promises because the rate of unemployment nowadays is very high, then if you don’t want to belong to that rate you have to choose a degree like administration or something like that that gives you more opportunities in a globalize world for competing, even if you don’t like those stuffs; besides, student loan debt swells 511 percent what makes think that those students are going to work the rest of their lives in order to pay their study debt.
