The paper studies the particularities of the educational policies of the Popular Unity. To answer this question, the context has been recreated and the main issues and conflict of these policies are explored. This objective is original because most of the investigations on this regard have studied the logic of the groups that fought to govern the country, have highlighted the differences between the educational projects of past governments or have evidenced the controversies surrounding the Unified National School. To achieve this answer, the study carried out an exhaustive review of the main primary and secondary sources in this matter [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes three dimensions of elite-mass congruence in Chile and Uruguay: (a) ideological; (b) public issues, support, and satisfaction with democracy; and, (c) economic preferences on the role of the State. Data from probabilistic national surveys and surveys on elites financed by IDRC-Canada and carried out from 2013 to 2014 in each country are used. Congruence indexes are calculated to identify gaps between citizens and representatives. The main indexes used are Relative Citizen Congruence and Earth Mover's Distance, a recent innovation borrowed from computer science. The findings show a greater ideological congruence in Chile, a greater congruence on support to democracy in Uruguay, and important gaps on education issues in Chile. Furthermore, in both countries there is greater congruence regarding relevant public issues between higher socioeconomic level population and the political elite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes and analyzes the current status of Secondary Education in Chile. Wide coverage, mediocre performances and social inequity are revealed within a context of tradability and prominence of private institutions. Performance-Based Agreements for the improvement of teacher education at a university level are highlighted as of their novel nature. These instruments put the objectives of each University with those of the State into alignment through negotiated processes within the framework of formal contracts setting “Performances of Excellence”. These represent profound changes in both the outcomes and impacts of the quality of teacher education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Finland's education story is important because it brings hope to all those worried about whether improving their educational systems is at all possible. Finland has a unique educational system because it has progressed from mediocrity to being a model educational system and «strong performer» over the past three decades. If Chile intends to follow the Finnish Way and listen to successful international experience from other countries, there is no better lesson than investing systematically and wisely in enhancing equity in education. This conference paper offers a discussion to all those worried about whether improving their educational systems is at all possible. The United States, England, Sweden, Germany, and Chile, to mention just a few, are among those where public education is increasingly challenged because of endemic failure to provide adequate learning opportunities to all children.
