Citizen Participation and Inclusion Unit
The Citizen Participation and Inclusion Unit is an authority of the Ministry of Education of the Nation that carries out political and technical work with the main objective of constructing a new collaborative relationship between the public apparatus and the communities that make up the educational system. In particular, this Unit pursues to ensure that the Chilean Educational Reform is founded and implemented in an integral and participatory way, by involving its citizens, based on the idea of education as a social right. This Unit carries out three main programs: Citizen Spaces, Human Rights Inclusion and Coordination Projects. All of them pursue the purpose of promoting, respecting and guaranteeing the principles of equality and non-discrimination. The framework of this Unit is found within Law No. 20.500 on Associations and Citizen Participation in Public Management.
