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.

Miguel Crispi is a former student leader and a currently advises the Ministry of Education on matters related to the reforms.
