SUSIN, Maria Otília Kroeff  y  MENDONCA, Juliana. Changes in Chilean Education System: public private partnership and privatization of resources. J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2021, vol.15, e79391.  Epub 01-Dic-2021. ISSN 1981-1969.  https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v15i0.79391.

The main objective of the text is showing how the process of privatization in Chile’s public education has been developed, engendered since times of military regime, when a program of political reforms with neo-liberal components was enforced, establishing a free market economy, in which private subjects became actively involved in the public sphere. After dictatorship, the struggles of student’s movements, combined with a legislation permeated by both progress and retreats, are elements that give shape to the Chilean National Education System. The presence of the private sector in the direction of public policies, as well as in partnerships with the State became a constant, either inside and outside schools. In this context of multiple subjects acting in different ways, many of them reliant on state subsidies, we pursue to investigate who they are and how they act, in order not to exhaust our research, but to try to find, by a few examples, some answers for several privatization issues. We intend to discuss, yet, how this market logic in Chile's education, allied to neo-liberal economic factors, led the country to a political-democratic crisis, erupted in 2019, in which Chileans citizens claim for civil rights and for equal access to a quality education for all different social classes.
