Following the 2011 massive student demonstrations of discontent with an educational system dating back to the times of dictatorship, in 2014, Chile's government, led by two-term President Michelle Bachelet, presented reform legislation to pursue a more equitable, non-segregational, and cost-free education system in Chile. In this talk, US based-scholars and figures who were key players to these reforms in Chile will discuss these developments and the current political stage.

Fernando Atria is a professor of Law at the Adolfo Ibañez University and at the University of Chile, his work “La Mala Educación” has inspired the educational movement of Chile. Miguel Crispi is a former student leader and a currently advises the Ministry of Education on matters related to the reforms. Andrea Gabor is Bloomberg Professor of Business Journalism at Baruch College, and a well known journalist in the United States.

This event is co-sponsored by the Consulate of Chile.
