VOICED : Estudiantes chilenos exigen reforma educativa transformadora

Chilean students and police clashed in Santiago during a protest demanding educational reform. The students criticized the government's proposed reform for not being democratic and failing to ensure universal gratuity. President Bachelet's campaign promised 70% gratuity, later reduced to 60%. Students have been mobilizing for a decade, presenting proposals to end profit in education. Despite public disapproval due to disruptions, the movement has achieved milestones, such as 145,000 students studying for free.
