Education reform: Human capital is one of the variables to have attracted most attention in the economic growth literature. Barro (1999) applies his cross-section growth regressions to the Chilean case, and estimates that if the quality of education in this country were at a level compatible with its per-capita income, growth would be as much as two percentage points higher per year. Barro uses scores achieved in an international science test to measure education quality. Although education is not one of the focus variables in this article, we are convinced that is one of the major
forces behind economic growth. Moreover, measuring education quality through international examination scores clearly reveals this as an area in which Chile performs well below its development level. This suggests that growth could be significantly accelerated if education quality were improved.
The education budget grew from 2.5% of GDP in 1990 to 4.2% of GDP in 2000, but
there have been no clear signs of any improvement in education quality. It is true that
education is a long-run issue, but the emphasis seems to have been on throwing
additional resources at this sector, rather than focusing on how to actually improve
educational outcomes.8
there is more room for improvement in Chile. As stated at the beginning the educational sector and the
government bureaucracy are obvious targets of reform. Their impact on economic growth
is indirect but not of less significance.
....The increases in productivity associated to the entering of the “new” school
graduates to the labor force will last until there is a complete replacement of the “old”
labor force. This may occur even if the schooling level of the new labor is the same as the
one leaving the labor force.
One of the main factors behind the underachievement of Chilean students is that
schools are rarely held accountable for their performance (Eyzaguirre and Fontaine, 2001). If this is the case it is urgent to reform educational institutions in order to assure accountability among schools. It is rather strange that although Chile finance its schools through a voucher parents do not exercise their choice to move their children to better schools. Part of the problem is that the information on school performance do not flow easily to parents. Results on school achievements have been available only since 1995 but are difficult to understand. It is indispensable that parents are alerted on bad performing schools and that they are able to move their children to better schools. In this respect a major problem is that there are many counties where the choice is made among municipal schools that perform equally bad. In such cases parents need to have the possibility of opting out through transport vouchers or through their direct intervention in the management of these schools. To introduce this last alternative it is necessary to reform the teachers’ labor statue that protects teachers heavily without clear obligations. Under this statue teachers are entitled to a series of benefits without clear obligations. It is almost impossible to fire them regardless of student performance.
It is disappointing that our best students coming from expensive schools are
outperformed heavily by the Malaysian students.
The mayor gains in economic growth for a country like Chile may come from an improvement in its educational system.

La acreditación de carreras y programas certifica la calidad en función de sus propósitos declarados y de los criterios establecidos por las respectivas comunidades académicas y profesionales.
En 2000 la Concertación intentó controlar el explosivo mercado de la educación superior ofreciéndoles acceso al Crédito con Aval del Estado. El mensaje fue: si se someten a ciertas normas (la acreditación), tendrán muchos más alumnos capaces de pagar sus aranceles. Fue como mostrarle a un león un trozo de carne y pedirle que hiciera una pirueta.

se puede mejorar. En primer lugar los colores. Vamos a colocar en verde los ítemes cumplidos, en amarillo los parcialmente cumplidos y en rojo los no cumplidos, al igual que un semáforo.
