Money equal Study (Last version)


Chile is going through a difficult situation due to the problems caused by its current educational system, Chilean students are protesting against the policies that have privatized the education.
Least years young students and their families have had to get into a huge debt to study. This has cost them losing their houses in order to pay a debt which increases with time.
Students claim for a new and better educational system, which really worries to give them a very high education; instead of worry about how to make students pay no matter the mean.

Another country that has been suffered for this system is United States; many students have to go to banks and then go through a difficult process to get into a huge load if they want to study, but these loads are very high and expensive and once they have got their degrees, they must work for many years to pay those debts; that’s why, currently U.S has a crisis, due to its economy problems many people do not have jobs, therefore, if they do not have any income, they cannot pay their loans; this situation has caused that they lose their houses and even worse; they are being put in a data-base, which tags them with a terrible credit history, this affects in a terrible way the rest of their lives. This educational system just cares to get back the money and not for the person.

Colombian people fortunately escaped from a situation similarly, thanks to student that fought a project of law that sought reorganize the Colombian educational system in order to make it more productive and efficient for the private capital. This educational reform was an ill-fated copy of that Chilean model. Instead of improve the public education government tried to privatize and make it mediocre. But it could not do that due to the strikes made by the students. However, public universities still have serious problems, such the needs of money and the poor quality of some of them but government seems not to be worried about it. Who knows why.

Fortunately, there is still a hope. Colombian students are changing this situation, demanding for a better education for everyone.
