Will this conflic have an end?

The students conflict

By: Jaime Cruz

In my opinion, I disagree the new mobilizations in this year it’s a waste of time to study, because all the students who want to study will be harmed to pass clear their year and their preparation for leaving school to college will be bad.

I disagree the idea of free education because the rich people have the money to educate their children. The solution to this problem is that the poor pay less money, and the rich people pay more. The other point of this problem it´s the roll of the Student Federation of Universidad de Chile, because the principal voices have a radical political discourse and this type of discourse it´s bad for young students and the society.

This type of discourse generates: Confusion, disorder, protests and riots. All these causes can be seen after the marches, because the vandals attack public and private property.

Other serious incidents are to attack the police, this incidents in my opinion are very serious because the authority need respect. In other side the police also abused against the students without reason this abuses you can see in the news. In the New York Times, the principal news paper in USA published a news “Volunteers Keep Watch on Protests in Chile”.  In this news said the police abused and the school occupations.

“Protest marches usually erupt in street battles with the police, who use tear gas and chemical-laced water cannons to disperse the crowds and wield their batons to arrest demonstrators. Some students have suffered head injuries, broken noses, convulsions and breathing problems; some have been trampled by police officers on horseback”. The New York Times explains the hard time in the protest, and the police abuse of the last student mobilization.

The other part of this conflict, it’s the support of the parent to students who are in the conflict. One part of parents approves the mobilizations and the other part not approve.

It’s very interesting see the organization of parents helping their children with the conflict, outside the school with posters and slogans against the mobilizations.

The Future of this conflict in my opinion it’s very difficult to know, because the students have many ideas to fight against the solution government gives. Now in this moment the movement have an uncertain ending, because in the last days in Chile was approved “reforma tributaria”. “Reforma tributaria” it’s the principal idea that the students fight to change to get a better education to the future. This reform it’s a good idea, because it’s going to be  more money to support the public education for the young students in the school and university. The government in this new reform it’s gone to injected $ 35 million. This amount of money it’s very important for the future of education.

Finally I hope of a dialogue and a solution in the future to this very serious problem that exists in Chile.
