Education in Chile

The education is a topic very interesting in many ways. In the past, not every people had this chance, and most of the rich people had it. Today we can say "OK, but now everyone have opportunities to do this or that", and the education is included in this. But, is really like this? There is no doubt that the opportunities are available for more people than before, but there's still a gap that maybe shouldn't exist. It's fair that because I have less money, I have to study in worst institutions , in bad conditions of buildings, or teachers?. We know that the world isn't perfect, but the Chilean students (some of them at least) are claim for a "better education", free and good. It maybe sounds like a utopia, but I think that students have reasons to do what they do, and ask what they ask. Chile isn't a poor country, not it all. Just in an example, a 10% of the money of the copper goes to military institutions, and that have to be many money. If we can solvent in that way the army, why we can't have that level of compromise with the education? That's the matter. I think that all of the Chilean people should have the right of get a primary ,secondary and superior education in the same level of quality. If I buy shoes, probably if I have more money, I'll buy some better than other people that haven't. That is maybe right for shoes, not for education. Students strikes are maybe not so good organised, I think that lose class is not the best way to express the discontent, and maybe that is the reason why I don't participate so much, but Chile have to change, and we must all have the same thought to achieve it.
