CAMPODONICO, Raúl Henríquez. The may-june 2006 chilean secondary student movement and the acting of government from a macropolitical view of education. Educere [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.37, pp.271-281. ISSN 1316-4910.

This report essay is aimed to describe the government ’s attitude in the origin, evolution and ending of the 2006 May and June secondary student movement. This movement put authorities against the wall and represented a great critique to the efectiveness of the measures used since the beginning of the Educational Reform in its search for quality and equity. This mobilization, which started due to some relatively superficial and circumstantial problems that afected especially county establishments and some independent subsidized ones, became more serious as time went by. This revealed the deep crisis Chilean education continues to go through. The intervention of some others “political actors” who tagged along during the process such as the Professorate Union, the Chilean County Association, the FIDE, the political opposition, some university student’s federations and the church among others; transformed this basically Santiago-based conflict into a “country-issue ”, which began to intensify little by little up to the point where it became a national issue. Hence, it is interesting to study this movement from a macropolitical perspective; since it reflected clearly the use of power strategies and influence between the belligerent. These strategies were directed to achieve their own interests in a “battle field ” that ended up being the entire country
