Strikes and Sit- in for a public education

In these moments almost all the “Universidad de Chile” is in Strike or Sit-in. Two days later, I went to the Demonstration for the education of character “National Strike” , to this Demonstration , more than hundred thousand persons were present, only in Santiago, because to national level, they represented more than two hundred thousand persons.
This protest, had things very assessable, because there had students, teachers, families and workers, all for a public education.
The Architecture Faculty always is present by is students. We always appear with creative Banners, in this opportunity, we had a Dragoon and the big cartoons of the prominent figures who have sold the education such as: Piñera, Lavín, Frei and Pinochet. All that together with a carnival, called “candombe”.
I think that the mass media, show the worst face of the marches, and the one that less represents us, in the news appear hooded person destroying and forcing, but they never show really the cultural activities and pacific demonstrations or very rarely.
The manifestations are a part of the civic culture that we have to have, The duty to demonstrate what does not seem to us and to construct a better world, but I understand that many persons don’t assist because they are afraid to the special forces.
The special forces are very repressive, the people are afraid to the Armoured Car, Rubber Bullets ( indeed in my faculty the last year, the special forces threw Rubber Bullets to the students and various of some of them were injured, also they damage the faculty)
However, I think that is the moment of fight for obtain changes in our educational system.

The educational system

The Education is a fundamental right, and the history demonstrates this. In the last century many places of the world led these revolts that up to nowadays are made feel.
Some cases as Mexico, Paris, Praga, Pekín, and San Francisco, between another more, that despite of that this places are very far of the other one, the movements presented similar features. The reasons? Paul Lizcano, expert of the student revolts against Franc, believes that " in all these revolutions there are a few points jointly: the idealism and the inconformity of a university in which they have penetrated the ideas of the Marxism or of the liberalism, which is opposed to the gags of the system and which demands the revolution "
Evidently the movements of today are not the same thing, but the education continues having the same problems indeed In Chile, the education is synonymous of debt and this, because the Government doesn’t assure the education as a right and for this only they can study in the university those who can pay with some exceptions, Actually the problem is product of the educational system

, that is still bosses of the global economy.
This produces that the dissatisfaction of the students persists, because this big problem has not been solved in more of 40 years!
The education is a fundamental right that is necessary to defend!
In this moment the “Universidad de Chile” is PARALYZED and is necessary that all the students contribute their ideas and visions!
