University level third stage: Doctorado: (Ph D)
The Doctorado takes between three and five years beyond the Magister. Candidates must submit a thesis.
The education system is manager by a mixed administration. The head of this system is the government which set the rules and the guide lines. The private sector has an important [participation in the education system, 43 % of the student population attend to private institutions.
The biggest educational change needed by Chile seems to be one of mentality. Today, education is looked at by the government as a business rather than a social investment. Somehow, public interest in education must be renewed.
Currently, "Pre-Basic" instruction (3-5 year olds) is free, but attendance is not mandatory. Many Chilean educators feel that this early start should be required, and that only about only 30% of students who should be attending actually are. Efforts are being made to improve parental interest in having their pre-schoolers attend, but many low-income mothers tend to stay at home and just don't see the need. Attendance at the Basic instruction level (6-14 year olds) is much more encouraging, with a 95% attendance rate.
Of those who attended the Basic level, only 65% go on to the "Media" (14-18 year olds). This drop in numbers in primarily due to the fact that many students, especially in rural areas, find it necessary to enter the work force. Of those that remain and attend the Media, only 20% take the required examination to go further on to university studies. Read More >>
