In Could Be Worse we spoke with the president of the union, José Luis Velasco, who explained that they arrived at that figure because “we worried regarding collecting the information from last year’s free exams.” And, compared to those in 2024, “there are already 17 thousand who did not even register to take free exams,” he added. .

The Association of Educators of Chile (Aseduch) He accuses that 27 thousand students are completely outside the school system.

Faced with this situation, in Could It Be Worse we spoke with the president of the union, José Luis Velasco, who explained that they reached that figure because “we were concerned regarding collecting the information from last year’s free exams.”

“Last year there was a lot of talk that there were more than 50,000 students, of school age, who did not enroll, therefore they are considered dropouts,” he added.

Given that scenario, Velasco explained that they requested through Transparency how many students registered to take this type of exams. “There were only 33 thousand registered. In other words, there are already 17 thousand who did not even register to take free exams. Of those, only 24 thousand passed. That adds up to 27 thousand,” he said.

“To that we must add those who have not found registration this year, some speak of 3 thousand, but the number is not known. But we can calmly talk regarding 30,000, 29,000 minors who should be in school and are not. To give you an idea, 30 thousand is what fits in the Santa Laura stadium,” he added.

In the same way, the president of Aseduch pointed out “the factors are multiple, this has been said by all the specialists. But, the post-pandemic increase is mainly because there are many families in which the value of formal education decreased.”

Likewise, he commented that “there is another group that does not actually have a place in a school of their liking (…) Those are candidates for free exams.” Also, “factors of poverty, work, among others.”
