2011 Student Protests

The 2011 Student Protests in Chile involved thousands of students demanding better education quality, increased funding, and fee-free access. The movement emerged due to dissatisfaction with an unequal, profit-driven education system that limited opportunities for many. Students organized large demonstrations, marches, and sit-ins across the country to press the government for reforms. These protests highlighted broader social inequalities and called for a more equitable education system. The movement gained widespread support and marked a significant moment of civic activism, prompting national discussions on education reform and social justice.
