The Chilean school system consists of several levels, including 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 semi-private, with funding coming from both the government and tuition fees. The curriculum in Chile emphasizes core subjects such as math, language, science, and social studies. Students take standardized tests, including the Prueba de Selección Universitaria (PSU), which is used for university admissions. The system aims to provide equitable access to quality education for all students.
