VIRTUAL EVENT: What’s Spanish for development? Chilean higher education at an impasse
This webinar covers an historical overview of phases in Chilean higher education (HE) policy and growth dating back to the middle of last century. It will reconsider past and current conditions of development in international and local rhetoric.

The term development becomes harder to define the more it is held as a preoccupation.
Chile perhaps is the most fitting pupil that international advisory and assistance organisations have had. Yet, public policy’s grip on development seems to have slipped.
From the end of the 1980s, Chilean HE grew and diversified at the same time that compulsory schooling was being extended.
This event includes two presentations which explore Chilean HE policy and the past and current conditions of development in international and local rhetoric.
