  • very moving story to a political science student in America. Love and support to the students and people of Chile.

  • CHILE! Your students are the models of reform that are lacking around the world... There is no such creative and driven attitude in the student body in the US today, not by a LOONNGGGG shot.

  • this is the real chilean way

  • Thank you for posting this, AFP.

  • @lowertaxes123 YOU BITCH! You're own YouTube account is 'lower taxes'....Education is a PUBLIC PROPERTY! Education is for the people, it shouldn't belong to PRIVATE COMPANIES.

    You seriously deluded. You should know that America imposed a dictatorship on Chile after they chose a socialist government.

    Private companies are stealing from the Chilean people to this their natural recources. And you want to say that students who want public education are stealing? YOU'RE CRAZY!!!

  • viva Chile!!!! VIVA LA EDUCACION PUBLICA Y GRATUTITA PARA TODOS!

    Long live Chile and Freedom in the Education.

  • viva chile mierdAA!!!!!!!!

  • VAMOS CHILE CTM!

  • What if they want free education? Education should be. And is not taking other peoples wealth, is everyone paying through taxes so everyone, poor and rich can have the same quality education, because that's just how it should be. I'm middle class, but I still find it utterly hard to pay the career I want without having to create a huge debt that will follow me untill I have to pay my son's one. That's just how things are, and I don't find it fair. No student does.

  • @thinknot What do most of them want?

    What actions do they want taken?

    Many want someone else to pay their bills! They want to use get government money, which means the force of government will be used to extract wealth by the use of force, if not paid willingly. I do agree there should be more competition in education, but I do not agree that theft through government should be used for higher education. I do not like to stand idly by while people get robbed!
