VOICED : Estudiantes chilenos exigen nueva reforma

Chilean secondary students are protesting for a comprehensive educational reform, criticizing the current system as inadequate and demanding free education from preschool to university. They argue that the government's proposed reforms, initiated by President Michelle Bachelet, are insufficient.
