CHILE: Students protest education privatisation

Issue 

On April 20, more than 5000 students marched through Santiago de Chile to demand President Ricardo Lagos veto the new Financing of Higher Education law submitted to Congress. The students claim the bill is de-facto privatisation of education, as it will undermine the public Fund of Solidarity Credit.
