Chilean private subsidized schools operate in a radically different environment from charter schools in the US. Since the imposition of the voucher-based system during the Pinochet dictatorship, virtually anyone, at any time, for any reason, could start and run a school. Furthermore, up until recent reforms, those schools could continue to operate largely without any evidence that students were learning or even that the schools were offering an education that complied with the legal regulations. Under these conditions, the percentage of students in municipal schools (so-called because they are run by municipalities much like district-run public schools in the US) has dropped significantly over the past 20 years, from over 55% of the student population in 1990 to under 40% in 2011. At the same time, enrollment has risen in private, subsidized schools to over 50% of the student population, with about 7% of students attending non-subsidized private schools that receive no public funding.

Advocating for Women
Historical gender inequities have favored and promoted men in leadership roles, and as a result, institutions and organizations have often lacked the balanced perspective which would result from greater contributions by women. Qualities such as nurturing, empathy, and compassion are antidotes to today’s divisive politics and cynicism.
It is important to understand the beliefs and traditions that have historically excluded women from equal representation and positions of leadership. We look to advocate for women rising up worldwide against oppression and exploitation.
