status of education in chile

Today the education in Chile is a controversial topic because we have a lot of problems with it. Problems that involve high school and university, related with the quality and with the money.  First of all, Chile have a huge problem on University education because it is privatized, everyone who wants to study have to pay, even in the "states" universities you have to pay. For this there is a recent legislation named "gratuidad universal" that implicates giving free education to some percentage of the students (the ones who have less resources), but this benefits only a little part of the population. The other big problem with this project is because is uncertain if they are (the new government) going to keep moving to obtain a universal free on education or not.

This is so evident, for example, with the kids, they are more dependent of technology and also they are more  skillful than the adults, is so easy to them to manipulate smart phones and the internet.
