From Temuco, Camila Vallejo, the main face of student conflict, said the student protests did not decline for the President's call for dialogue and Sebastian Pinera told Radio Cooperativa preparing a new national event for early September.

"We have said that the movement is not lowered, the mobilization is not lowered to the guarantees that exist on the table by the Executive and that we have not. This means only the latest sign that executive policy obviously can not continue without response. "

The new event would be planned for Thursday, September 8, but Vallejo said, "is a proposal for the CONFECH, for discussion with other actors."

Εκεί που αγωνίζονται να ανατρέψουν αυτά που εμείς εδώ μόλις ψηφίσαμε.

In only 2 months, the 23 year-old leader of the student protests in Chile has received countless death threats while keeping Chile’s government in check.

Camila Vallejo Dowling has become the living nightmare of Chilean President Sebastián Piñera. Her beauty, brains, eloquent speech and the clarity and sheer strength of her ideas and proposals have made her one of the main actors in Chile’s current political stage—the face of the Student Movement in Chile.

Her image is in the face of every newspaper, and seems to grow popular at the same rate President Piñera’s grows unpopular. Vallejo has an admirable capability to solidly state the needs, and demands of Chilean students with the same intransigent humility and powerful, charismatic logic before thousands at a march, inside the chambers of the education ministry, or as a guest on a talk show.

“We don’t want violence, our fight is not versus the police or to destroy commercial shops … our fight is to recover the right to education, on that we have been emphatic and clear,” said Vallejo in a speech outside La Moneda, Chile’s presidential palace.

Hundreds of students had been marching peacefully, banging pots and chanting to demand education as a right, and not as a purchasable good, and were met with teargas by police. As she spoke, Camila was surrounded by a peace sign made with empty teargas canisters thrown at students, and symbolically returned to La Moneda.

“Here we have more than 50m pesos’ worth of teargas bombs,” said Vallejo. “Imagine how much was used on the regional or the national level? This is unacceptable, we want to reiterate our demand that we made to the minister of the interior that he step aside.”

Not in a long time a Latin American rebel leader’s voice resonated with such power among the people. Earlier this month, the government ordered Police protection for her, after she begun receiving death threats from opposition groups, by phone and on the social networks.

Tatiana Acuña, a former official from the ministry of culture was fired after suggesting protesting in Chile would end if Camila was assassinated.

Youth groups close to the government of Piñera hacked into her personal files, and published private information, including her home address.

Nothing though, has thus far stopped Camila from writing her mind on her blog, being a constant presence on twitter and becoming the icon of the Chilean Student Revolution.

Camila is the daughter of Reinaldo Vallejo and Mariela Dowling, former members of the Chilean Communist Party in the 1970s.

Vallejo lived her childhood between the communes of Macul and La Florida, and she studied in Colegio Raimapu, a mixed-private school in La Florida. In 2006, Vallejo entered the University of Chile to study geography, but the current state of the Chilean education system has complicated the completion and evaluation of her thesis, which she will publish once education in Chile is a right, and not a luxury.

A group of 50 representatives from secondary level. They managed to enter the upper floors of the building shouting slogans against the government and causing damage

According to the news site reported Emol, protesters entered so arrogant to the Ministry of Education and smashed windows. Managed to reach the upper floors and even entered the office of Minister Felipe Bulnes itself, which on Wednesday participated in a session in the Senate in Valparaiso. There they remained for about two hours, but were evicted by police.

Witnesses said the students shouted slogans against the Interior Minister, Rodrigo Hinzpeter, whom some sectors demand the resignation after last week a young man died during a massive protest against the government.

Judicial investigations confirmed that was shot by the police that caused the death of Manuel Gutierrez and several police officers have been discharged.

According to Emol, students still remain in place and precinct officials are trying to give up their attitude.

High school students claiming, among other requirements, the nationalization of public education-in the hands of municipalities since the last military dictatorship. Besides college students, for three months starring massive protests against the government.

As explained by the protesters, made ​​opposition to the occupation in a dialogue that the government will begin on Saturday with leaders of the Confederation of Students of Chile (CONFECH) to address their demands for quality education and free.

"The CONFECH is led by political parties and intends to settle the conflict shaking hands with politicians, while schools that are mobilized in the periphery do not have any say in the decisions," he told the local press a spokeswoman for the occupation who was not identified.

After about two hours, the group was leaving the building peacefully, amid a strong police protection.

Chilean Students Show the Way

Last week, I was giving a workshop at the University of Chile in Santiago. The building that faced ours houses the Federation of Students of the University of Chile (FECH), where day after day students were giving interviews to an eager press. Camila Vallejo, the 23-year old president of the student organization, has become a folk hero throughout Latin America. (If you understand Spanish, Search for her YouTube interviews). Freddy Fuentes is a 16-year-old high school student also making the rounds of TV news and talk shows. Over 200 schools and universities have been taken over by students, and on the day of my workshop, 100,000 students and supporters marched in pouring rain.

Labor has joined the students with a two-day national strike and demonstration on August 24th and 25th in which 1,400 demonstrators were arrested. Recent polls show that the student protesters have the support of 80 percent of the population. Chilean students are experimenting with new forms of protest, such as marathon runs around congress, kiss-ins, and a 3,000-student performance of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" to imply that the education system in Chile has become a zombie.

While in Chile, I gave workshops, visited a school and talked to lots of teachers and school administrators who, much like their counterparts in the U.S., feel they have little voice in educational policy. In fact, like most teachers in the U.S., they feel blamed for social inequalities and other social problems they have little control over. Students and their families in Chile have gone deep in debt because most universities are private and the public ones are very expensive. The students' slogan is "Educar, no Lucrar," or "Educate, don't Profiteer," which means that education is a public good, not for making profit. While their message is clear and focused, it is a message that has broader structural implications, and the students, who have the media's attention, are providing an articulate critique of the 40 years of neoliberal policies in Chile that have led to massive inequality and a ravaged public sector.

For years, previous generations of Chileans, traumatized by 17 years of military oppression, were hesitant to engage in a massive social movement. In 2006, high school students took to the streets as a precursor to the current movement. Known as the "pinguinos" or penguins, because of their black and white school uniforms, they set the tone for subsequent demonstrations. Many of the leaders of today's movement were politicized as high schools students during the 2006 "pinguinos" movement.

Only about 45 percent of high school students attend public schools in Chile, and most universities are private. The other 55 percent of Chilean high school students either attend private schools subsidized by government funds or more elite private schools without public subsidies, leading to a highly stratified system. As in the U.S., Chile has a growing sector of for-profit universities, which are a growth industry across the globe. Tuition in both private and State universities are high because funding from the State is minimal, forcing students to take out loans from private banks at 6 percent interest. Chile spends 4.2 percent of GDP on education, well under that of other similar countries.

The parallels with the U.S situation are striking. In both Chile and the U.S. many are appalled that for-profit universities, most of which are of low quality, receive government-backed loans. Furthermore, in the U.S. relatively small tutoring companies like Kaplan and Sylvan have become major corporations because of transfers of tax-payer money to the private sector through the Supplemental Education Services vouchers provided by No Child Left Behind. Chile also has its own high-stakes test called the SIMCE, and the same distortion of the education system that we see in the U.S. is visible there. Subjects like art, music, social science and physical education are marginalized, and pressures on teachers and students have lead to burn out and teaching to the test.

What makes the Chilean protests particularly significant is that they can be seen as a direct critique of neoclassical economic policy. After the military coup toppled a democratic government in 1973, an economic model inspired by Chilean students of Milton Freidman was installed under the Pinochet dictatorship (See Naomi Klein's chapter on Chile in The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism). Chile, more than any other country, represents the culmination of this neoliberal experiment, and the strikes and protests represent an important message that the rest of the world should take seriously.

Perhaps the most important accomplishment of the Chilean students is that they are delegitimizing neoliberal ideology, which in Chile had accomplished the status of common sense, and they have done so through a critique of their own educational institutions. The American press has largely ignored this story, but Americans interested in building a social movement around education policies have much to learn from the Chilean students, and should seek out as much information as possible on its continuing dynamic.

Chilean students protest kissing

(http://www.eluniversal.com.co/sites/default/files/imagecache/700w/chileb.jpg)

Couple of young college and high school gathered at the front of the Cathedral in the west side of the square, while a young woman wearing a microphone to be heard and encourage them to begin the "besatón."

Wearing school uniform, many college hippie-like face and others of "Matthew" were encouraging gradually until more than a hundred couples kissed simultaneously, while passers-by stopped to look at them and some will applaud .

"I want us to listen, to accept what we ask them to go back to school," said Javiera, design student, in a very short follow high before kissing your partner.

The "besatón" was convened by twitter by Camila Vallejo, spokeswoman for the university movement. A little earlier, fifty schoolchildren stopped traffic on the roads of the capital's main avenue where they improvised a game of football baby.

This is the second besatón that young people use as a different way to protest and demand structural changes in the educational system.

Students began their protests three months ago with strikes, occupation of schools, then came marches, hunger strikes, showy choreography that included Thriller, Michael Jackson, moved giant balls through dozens of blocks, took an impromptu beach where the sun in the center of town, dressed as police water cannon truck.

The stoppages will resume next week.

President meets in La Moneda with student movement leaders


CONFECH student movement leaders, including Camila Vallejo and Giorgio Jackson, met the morning of Sept. 3 in La Moneda with President Sebstián Piñera and Minister of Education Felipe Bulnes in hopes of resolving the ongoing educational conflict lasting now for more than three months.  The meeting marks the first time that the organizational leaders have been granted a meeting in La Moneda.

Vallejo and Jackson entered the presidential palace shortly before 10 a.m., followed soon after by the president of the teachers’ union, Colegio de Profesores, Jaime Gajardo. As of 2:00 p.m., four hours after the meeting commenced, CONFECH leaders and government officials remained behind closed doors.


Student leaders are hoping to come to agreement that will provide education of higher quality available to the public free of charge. CONFECH has written a 12-point plan, which Vallejos said she hoped the government would respond to.

Before the official meeting with the university students, Minister of Education Felipe Bulnes and governement spokesman Andrés Chadwick told the press that they were optimistic about the day’s meeting and expressed hope of coming to a resolution.

Chadwick, however, said that “you cannot achieve everything in just one day” and added that “we will look a manner to move forward.”

Shortly before Vallejos and Jackson entered the palace, the Subsecretary of Education, Fernando Rojas, said that the moment had arrived to come to a resolution.

“We hope today to make a new path…in order to improve education, you have to address it from pre-K, techinical schools, higher education, looking to have a country with more opportunities for everyone,” Rojas said.

Student comments, however, were less than optimistic.

“The president is talking. They’re just objectives still. He still doesn’t talk about means,” twitted Patricio Contreras, president of the Federación de Estudiantes de la Universidad de los Lagos, as the meeting drew on.

Before the meeting had even ended, Radio Bio Bio confirmed, around noon, that another student protest planned by CONFECH was set for Sept. 8.

The meeting had been put into doubt the night before, following the disappearance of military airplane carrying a TVN television crew shortly before 6 p.m. near Juan Fernández. Initial media reports indicated that the president would travel instead to Juan Fernández but the government decided to go forward with meeting.

Meanwhile, protesters from the Asamblea Coordinadora de Estudiantes Secundarios (ACES), which was not invited to the meeting, congregated outside of La Moneda.

Chile: Pinera, students decide to keep talking


SANTIAGO, Chile — Chile's president met with student, university and teachers' union leaders for nearly four hours Saturday in the government palace, and all those involved decided to keep negotiating in search of a solution to the country's conflicts over education reform.


That's a big step forward in Chile's education debate — the first face-to-face talks between both sides after more than three months of unilateral declarations, boycotted classes, mass marches, hunger strikes and violent confrontations with police.

President Sebastian Pinera led the behind-closed-doors meeting, and his education minister Felipe Bulnes later called it "a very positive encounter."

Bulnes said he would on Monday provide all involved with a schedule for more negotiations, and is optimistic about finding solutions. "We agree on a great quantity of points," he said.

High school and university students who have paralyzed classes in many of Chile's 25 main universities and kept about 200,000 high school students out of class said they would keep protesting, but meanwhile praised what they called a new attitude of openness from the government.

"We value his gesture" of Pinera's, high school protest leader Rodolfo Ribera said afterward outside the palace.

University student leader Camila Vallejo praised Saturday's talks as the first opportunity for all sides to clearly present their positions.

University leaders will analyze the situation and respond on Tuesday to Bulnes' plans for more talks. "This shows a great willingness to move forward, and that's important," she added.

The students want profound changes including much more funding to ensure "free and equal quality education for all." They argue that this is best accomplished by reversing a decades-long trend of privatization in Chilean education, and barring profit-taking by education institutions that receive state funding — a position the government says it will never accept.

FIRST DIALOGUE BETWEEN PIÑERA AND CHILEAN STUDENTS TO PURSUE AGREEMENTS

Chilean President Sebastián Piñera, received on Saturday to the leader of the student demonstrations and spokesman for the Confederation of Students of Chile (CONFECH), Camila Vallejo.

After the meeting, which lasted four hours, Chilean students, who have been calling a few months free public education, quality , agreed to hear a new government proposal, but the maintenance of their mobilization.

After the meeting, Camila Vallejo told the media that it was only "a first for the positions transparent" and also said the government "showed a strong will to move forward."

"The positions of the government authorities will be discussed with our bases and our position we will deliver on Tuesday or early Wednesday," the leader. It is expected that next Monday is set the mode, timing and issues on which agreements should be reached.

Meanwhile, Education Minister Felipe Bulnes said that "the approach was very positive." "There are points that we believe will be possible to agree a position," the official said.

The meeting, held at the Palacio de la Moneda presidential palace, also attended by José Ankalao, Mapuche spokesman for the Federation of Students, along with three university presidents and some representatives of the College of Teachers.

For four months Chilean students demand reforms of the education system and demand that they are guaranteed the right to free and quality education. During this time in different parts of the country, including the capital, have organized several protests that often ended with clashes with police and several arrests. In many clashes injured dozens of people and last week a young man died 16 years killed by a bullet in the chest.
