Description
Summary:This article examines the proposals for higher education in the government program of Apruebo Dignidad, which led Gabriel Boric  to the presidency of Chile, addressing three critical dimensions: endogenous and exogenous privatization, defined by Ball and Youdell (2007), and the economization of higher education according to Brown (2017). In a regional context marked by the end of  the «Cycle of Challenge to Neoliberalism in Latin America» (CINAL) and the possible advent of a new progressive cycle, the analysis  highlights the substantial privatization of the Chilean educational system compared to other Latin American countries and questions  the effectiveness of the proposed measures to alter this dynamic. In this line, the proposals would not significantly  modify the existing forms of privatization nor move away from an economized approach. Both continuities and ruptures with  previous policies are identified, but it is concluded that, although there are efforts to moderate some aspects of privatization, the  government program’s proposals do not imply a significant transformation of the higher education system in Chile.
