The status of education in Chile: Quality vs Cost

In Chile exists two types of educations systems: private and state (actually, exists another, mix type). When we talk about the elementary school and high, the best schools are privates, except for a couple of cases, but when we talk about university, the best options are state universities.  The point of this is that the state universities aren’t free like elementary and high school, we have to pay this education; in Chile, the education is “pay to win”.

The SINSE demonstrate to us every year that private education is better that state education, in level elementary and high school. And this demonstrates that our country fail again trying to equalize the level education.
In the other hand, the international and national rankings of universities demonstrate that the estate universities are better those privates’ universities. But these universities aren’t free, and every year become more expensive, if you don’t have a scholarship, probably you going to have problems for pay your education.

In my opinion the scholarship system is the responsible of the problem “pay to win”, because this allowed that some people without money could study in better places and go to the university, but never allow that every can study.

Someone I'd like to meet: Javier Fernandez

Imagen
Javier Fernandez Lopez is a Spanish ice-skater. He was born in Madrid, Spain, and currently, he lives and trains in Toronto, Canada.   He is 26 ages old, but he is like a child on the ice. He is a good boy, a nice person so handsome and loves his country and the ice.  Now he has his mind on the Olympics Winter Games in China, this year; he wants to win and take a gold medal to his country. He was the first Spanish ice-skater that competed for Spain in Gran Prix Final, in 2010. He was almost one of the first to add 4T in his routine. Last year, he won the Final Gran Prix. The first routine of Javier Fernandez that I could see was in 2011, when he made a performance of “Pirates of Caribbean” in FS, in the Rotelecom Cup, in Russia. His style mades me fall in love. I watched a documental of Javier’s couch, Bryan Orser, where he talked about Javier and Yuzuru Hanyu. Brian said that both are children, and said that Javier just trains because Hanyu does it.

Election Day

In the next elections, I will go to vote, obviously. I has voted in every election since I was 18 years old, because I want to have voice in the political discussion. About the electoral campaigns, I think that talking with people is more useful than putting posters or sing catchy songs.  I mean… If you don’t know the people, you couldn’t help them. A person that wants to have a public position needs to be good listener, have great willingness, and understand that will need patience and a lot of time to fix so many problems. Have a public position is complicated and hard, it needs vocation. I would really like to have a public position and to be able to help the people, but I am from nowhere… I have lived in a lot of cities along my life. I don’t have city or town to call “my home”. This is a bit sad. In the district where I'm living now, Mejillones, the political campaigns need to have more focus in the people and the childhood. No more campaigns with money of th

Changes to My Study Programme

I am studying Anthropology.  The anthropology is a global discipline involving humanities, social sciences and natural sciences We study the human’s existences, the lifestyles, relationships, language, biology, culture, past, evolution, and everything that do to humans be humans. In the firth year we have class of anthropology, archaeology, biology, philosophy, history and methodology. These classes are the base for all that will come. I think that we need more field work in the anthropology and archaeology classes. In these areas, the field work is the key for learned how the things in the right way do.  We need go out and “put our foot on the mud”. Also, the last year I studied literature and I think that is an interesting area for the anthropology. But, really, I don’t know if literature is or isn’t an obligatory subjects in our program. If don’t be, should be. Beside, in my opinion the philosophy’s contents should including in the others classes, not be a different cla
