Improving government program is the cornerstone to good education for all. "I want all the children of Chileans to have the education of the children of the deputies," he said.

This investment will use it to reduce the quality gap between schools most vulnerable and the most successful, and reduce inequality and improve the overall quality of the system.

Education must be returned to teachers, it is they and not others, those with children in schools and that can make improve learning achievement. The teacher should be a dignified life well paid. It is the duty of the state to ensure quality education for all, especially the most vulnerable. "

Doubling the amount in hours of physical education.

* Sports and recreation, are very important physically and socially. Importantly, it has been shown that sport is a great help in daily school life and improves cerebral oxygenation, confidence, emotional stability, memory, intellectual functioning, health and psychological well-being by educating and enabling greater focus and available to the child to study, and thus improves academic performance, and fitness.





I think an important part of the problem of education is in the family, therefore we must work together with parents to obtain better academic results.
As a society we have ignored education, we have lowered educational standards, instead of strengthening education systems in schools with low academic performance. I think unfortunately, we are demanding quantity and not quality, which is what we need.
I hope we can improve this in the next government, trying to increase economic support to education, and strengthen the family environment.
We also need competent management and quality, to implement an educational system that improves the current one, involving both teachers and pupils.
