Well, the truth is that I did not go to the demonstration that day, I not very often come to college and I'm not informed of the activities. But the topic interests me greatly and I think it's important to do protests because it is a very important issue that affects the entire population and is a problem that this government will be far worse. At present there are not many differences between private universities and public universities. The price of college is very high tariff and the University of Chile is the only public university in Latin America where you have to pay to study. For example at the University of Buenos Aires and the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico does not have to pay to study, though in Mexico for example have been many attempts to privatize the UAM, students protested to prevent that to happen.
In fact, these universities can be called "public universities", but in Chile we cannot say the same. Only the elite can go to this school, with exceptions that are often highlighted by the people to show that this country is meritocratic. But since the primary, there are differences in the education of children depending of socioeconomic status, because education is privatized at all levels and for that reason is immensely unequal. Entering a University "public" in Chile is not as one imagines and it is a pity. Because ultimately it is a business and not really a place where professionals formed to help society.
