The dramatic education reforms launched in Chile during the 1980s included decentralization and privatization of the system. This program examines further efforts to upgrade the quality of education and make it accessible to all—from university students to primary school children in rural areas. It also examines the impact of reforms: what worked, what didn’t, and what others can learn from the Chilean experience. (30 minutes)
