Abstract

The main tenant here is that the 1980 constitution imposed the most radical educational reform in the Chilean history. It generated a break with what the 1925 constitution posed in term of education considered to have “special attention from the State”. On the other hand, the 1980 constitution consider that the State plays a subsidiary role, with private agents at the center of the system. They are expected to be chosen ones to deliver a good quality education as opposed to the bureaucratic and incompetent State. The concept of colonization of the education system is based on the premise that the neoliberal system penetrates and overflows the social system and specifically the education system. This system develops values such as education as consumer good that is invested after which we obtain financial return. Historically, education was considered as a human right, a social right or social good.
