The opposition in the Chamber of Deputies has criticized the Protected Schools Bill introduced by President José Kast, highlighting concerns that the legislation could impose unequal consequences on students based on their financial status when accessing free education.

Following the election results, Mizala delivered a speech highlighting that "the vocation of the University of Chile has not only been to understand its time but also to transform it, expanding rights, opening opportunities, and contributing to building a fairer, more democratic, and more humane country," reaffirming her commitment to defending public education as an "unrenounceable conviction."

The court determined that Colegio Santa María de Maipú failed to correctly implement its protocols in response to repeated bullying reports. The affected student had to transfer schools, while the school appealed the ruling.

Mario Aguilar, president of the teachers' union, pointed out that while the issue of security through the Protected Schools project was mentioned, "nothing was said about what we understand to be the fundamental problem causing severe acts of violence, which is mental health." This, combined with an "entirely outdated" curriculum and societal issues affecting families, inevitably spills over into schools as violence, the leader argued.

The Confech has called for a national strike on June 3, urging students across Chile to protest against the government's educational policies, including the controversial 'Protected Schools' initiative and recent budget cuts.

A new study warns that school texts in Chile continue to reproduce sexist biases and an androcentric view of knowledge.

Students expressed their opposition to the government's budget cuts and the 'Protected Schools' initiative, calling for an urgent dialogue table.

Mario Aguilar, the national president of the teachers' union, raised concerns about the substantial reduction in budget allocated for infrastructure: "This alone demonstrates that this cut harms the vast majority of schools in Chile, which have very deteriorated facilities that have not received proper maintenance for a long time. What we need is more funding for infrastructure, not less as is currently happening," he stated.

High school students have raised their voices against the agenda of José Antonio Kast, expressing their opposition to the proposed "Protected Schools" law, which includes controversial measures such as checking students' backpacks while also addressing budget cuts to the Ministry of Education.
