Education

The education in Chile is something very important and it's a main topic of discussion these days.
According to the Human Development Index of the United Nations, Chile is in 53th place in the worldwide ranking of education quality and in 5th in Latin America after Cuba, Uruguay and Argentina. Also the University of Chile and the Catholic University of Chile are in the top 500 Universities of the world.
Unfortunality, in Chile we have very serious problems with education, but i think it's a cultural problem.
It all begins at home, with the education that our parents provide us such as basic values like not stealing or respect the older people.
But this not always happen. These children go to school where they play all day long and don't pay attention at all. There is no control by their parents, because many of them are at work, and so the kids don't take the lessons that the school provides them.
Another problem is the difference in acces to the education, because not all have the same opportunity to study, due to the differents social classes.
Education in Chile is not entirely free and so to study at the University, we must have a lot of money. Blessed are those who can, but for the people who can't do that, the State assumes responsability through scolarships and loans.
So this is how i see the education, through the eyes of a student, who spends most of her time at the University and who is concerned about these problems, because of her education depends her future.
