In late September, following the dismal results and huge differences highlighted in measurement tests such as the SIMCE, PSU, etc. and the implementation of the government's neoliberal agenda Piranha announces the implementation of the "Bicentenary High Schools of Excellence," but what are these schools? And what are your goals?
The implementation of these schools (which in its first stage will be 25 of which 23 are municipal and subsidized private 2) involves the installation of different schools, depending on the performance of those applying for them, what mean?, in other words it is a mechanism that picks through the grades of each student, tending to further segregate the Chilean educational system. For example, students may enter these institutions of excellence are 70% and 30% selection by lot, making it clear that the formula of the draw in the selection is not required to carry it out in each school and college, if not at the discretion of the establishment. In summary, it is to implement openly General Education Law (LGE), with profit and student recruitment.
these schools will be operational in the month of March 2011 and received on contributions by the Ministry of Private education and a total of about 25 billion to carry out the alleged improvements in education.
in our region have already defined the first four high schools of excellence that will begin to implement structural modifications to receive only a segment of the best performing students, these are:
1 - Valparaiso Liceo B-29 (which seek to merge with the Maritime Technical Institute Valparaiso High School to become a "multipurpose", meaning that covers both technical and professional education as a scientist-humanist).
2 - Mary Graham Liceo de Villa Alemana.
3 - Liceo José Miguel Carrera de San Antonio.
4 - Liceo San Felipe Mountains.
For these reasons we and us students of the Patriotic Union Student (UPE), we reject this attempt to install a model of segregation of public education as a panacea or magic bullet and quick to change the terms deficit and poor education in our country. We believe that now more than ever necessary to fight for an education system in the market, profits in education and in general, the neoliberal system does not fit, we call on all stakeholders participate in the field of education ( teachers, students, paraprofessionals, etc.). to be attentive and ready to take on another front to fight the education market, at times when you want to install a package of measures to privatize education in our country.

education market, not one step back! PATRIOTIC UNION STUDENT
