Citizen Dialogues for Quality Education
The Citizen Dialogues for the Quality of Education were a participative initiative organized by the Ministry of Education and the University of Chile. Its goal is to generate proposals to improve the quality of education in the country, which will guide education policies in the short and medium term. Five dialogues were held in the cities of Antofagasta, Concepción, Valparaíso, Puerto Montt and Santiago de Chile. The dialogues in each city were organized through working tables made up of experts from the education sector, who represented one third of each table, as well as parents and students from different school types, who represented two thirds of each table. The participants were invited by the organizing institutions. The dialogues concluded with a series of recommendations that were presented to national authorities.
