The Chilean Education System is structured into four main levels: preschool, primary, secondary, and higher education. Education is compulsory for children aged 6 to 18, with primary education lasting 8 years and secondary education lasting 4 years. Schools can be public, private, or subsidized, with varying levels of funding and resources. In recent years, the system has faced challenges, including issues of inequality and access. The government has implemented reforms aimed at improving quality and inclusivity, such as increasing funding for public schools and promoting free higher education for low-income students.
