Teaching for the Flourishing Future: Educational Policy and Political Education following Chile's Democratic Transition
Keywords:
Chile, education policy, development, privatization, memory, expert knowledgeAbstract
In 2011, a Chilean student strike rattled the coun
try's political establishment in a way that no union has managed
to do since the 1990 democratic transition. On-the-ground conse
quences of macro-changes to public education in recent decades
frame pervasive disappointment in forms of political participa
tion accorded to citizens. I explore here student, teacher and
parent experiences with underfunded rural schools as a means
of uncovering important temporal and affective politics struc
turing formal schooling in Chile today. It is no accident that
the state's progressive retraction from funding public edu
cation coincides with growing interest among multinational investors to sponsor children in need.
