GCSR – Part – I SUMMARY

CHILE:

The territory of Chile has been populated since at least 12,000 B.C. By the 16th

century, Spanish conquistadors began to subdue and colonize the region of present-day Chile,

and the territory became a colony between 1540 and 1818, when it gained independence from

Spain. The country's economic development was successively marked by the export of first

agricultural produce, then saltpeter and latercopper. The wealth of raw materials led to an

economic upturn, but also led to dependency, and even wars with neighboring states. Chile

was governed during most of its first 150 years of independence by different forms of

restricted government, where the electorate was carefully vetted and controlled by an elite.

Most Chileans are Roman Catholics. The religion has played a large role in defining social

and political life. Religious instruction in public schools is almost exclusively Roman

Catholic.

Abortion is actually illegal due to the influence of the Church. Divorce was illegal until

2004.

Most national holidays are religious in nature. Chileans of more mature generations still

celebrate their saint's day as much as they do their own birthday.

Major religions in Chile are as follows:

• Roman Catholic 70%,

• Evangelical 15.1%,

• Jehovah’s Witnesses 1.1%,

• Other Christian 1%,

• Other 4.6%.

Chile is in the advanced stages of the demographic transition and is becoming an

aging society - with fertility below replacement level, low mortality rates and life

expectancy on par with developed countries. However, with its dependency ratio is

approaching its lowest point, Chile could benefit from favorable age structure.

They have to keep their large population -age work productively employed, as he

prepares to meet the needs of its growing proportion of older people, especially

women - the traditional caregivers - are increasingly coming workforce. In the last

two decades, Chile has made great strides in reducing its poverty rate, which is now

lower than most Latin American countries.

Spaniards in the official language of Chile.

The food has a very special place in Chilean culture. Chilean normally eat four times

a day. The first meal of the day is breakfast, which consists mainly of dishes instead

of light including buttered toast and instant coffee. Lunch (served 1: 00-14: 00) is the

big meal of the day. Traditionally two main dishes. The first course can be a salad of

some sort. A common salad is the Chilean salad, including sliced onions, chopped

tomatoes and peeled an oil and vinegar dressing and fresh coriander (cilantro).

The main course usually includes beef or chicken, served with vegetables. Around

17:00 Chilean taken once, an afternoon tea with bread and jam, often also includes

cheese and avocado (avocado).

Every year during the last week of February, Viña del Mar, an exclusive resort town

about two hours from Santiago, Viña del Mar holds Festival.The Music

CarnavalAndino With the Force of the Sun, or "Andino Festival with the Force of

sun, "is one of the most influential and entertaining a number of festivals that take

place in February in northern Chile region.Fiestas Patrias, or" Independence Day,

"refer to the related celebrations Independence Day Chile, which is celebrated on

September 18.

Before independence, the Christian religious orders mainly influenced Chilean

education. In fact, the Jesuits founded the first educational institutions in the country.

10

Since the First Government Junta (First Government Junta) in 1810 there was interest

in the development of education systems in the new country that is manifested by

members of the independence movement. This desire was completed by an approved

decree expressly waived taxes for a year and a half books, maps, printers, physics

instruments and machinery that contributed to the social and educational

advancement. Based on this predisposition to facilitate education, during 1813 the

National Library was created, freedom of the press was established, and the first

official government newspaper, El Monitor Araucano, was established.

The cost of education differs depending on the type of school. Schools with voluntary

enrollment may charge a fixed fee income, while subsidized private schools can

charge tuition mandatory enrollment, tuition, and other services. Moreover, private

schools are free to decide their own fee structure. In 2011, the country was

widespread and violent student protests, demanding reforms in the education system.

Students said they wanted more direct state participation in secondary education as

well as to obtain benefits blatant happening in higher education. The movement

gained strong support across the country, as the students refused to attend classes and

took to the streets. Education in Chile is divided into

Chile is divided into following part;

Preschool,

Primary school,

Secondary school,

& technical or higher education (university).

The levels of education in Chile are:

Pre-school: For children up to 5 years old.

Primary school: (Enseñanzabásica) for children aged 6–13 years old, divided into

8 grades.

11

Secondary school: (Enseñanza media) for teenagers aged 14–17 years old,

divided into 4 grades.

Higher education:

University (Universidad): These are divided between "traditional"

universities (public and private universities created (mostly) before the

1981 reform) and private institutions.

Professional Institute (Institute Professional, IP): Private institutions

offering professional degrees, except for those given exclusively by

universities. They were created in 1981.

Technical Schooling Center (Centro de FormaciónTécnica, CFT): Also

created in 1981, they are private institutions offering technical degrees

only.

The Ministry of Education is responsible for pre-primary, primary, and secondary

schooling in Chile. The pre-primary level is two years of non-compulsory education for

children four to five years of age. Primary and secondary educations are compulsory.

Primary education is from ages 6 to 13, and secondary education is from ages 14 to 17. In

2000, 99 percent of school -age children was studying at primary schools, and 90 at

secondary schools.

School categories.

In terms of financing, there are the following kinds of schools:

1. Municipal: State-subsidized schools run by municipalities, which may also contribute

monetarily to the schools. The majority of the population studies at these schools (64% at the

primary level).

2. Particular Subvencionado: Private with a government subsidy. At the primary level, 29%

of the population attends this kind of school.

12

3. Particular: Private. At the primary level, 7% of the population attends this kind of school.

4. Corporate schools are schools run by corporations and which receive the same state

subsidy that the municipal schools receive.

RELATIONSHIP OF CHILE WITH INDIA

INDIANS IN CHILE:

The Indian community in Chile numbers around 1100, mostly residing in Santiago, Iquique,

and Punta Arenas. Largely engaged in small business and trade, the community is gradually

being assimilated into the normal through naturalisation. An average of 1000 Chileans visit

India annually, mainly for tourism.

CULTURAL TIES:

Indian culture is highly regarded and appreciated in Chile. Chile‘s cultural openness and

receptivity is also remarkable. Yoga is widely practised there. Santiago hosts 16 yoga training

centres. Four monuments have been raised to honour Mahatma Gandhi: one in Santiago,

erected in 1968, one in Curico, erected in 1999, one in SagradaFamilia in May, 2002, and one

in Rancagua in April, 2003. A fifth monument of Mahatma Gandhi is expected to be erected

shortly in Valparaiso, a port city recently declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage

Property. To give effect to a Bilateral Cultural Agreement signed in 1993, a Cultural

Exchange Programme for the years 2003-2005 was signed in New Delhi in April, 2003. The

CEP is now under implementation.

HIMACHAL PRADESH:

The region of Himachal Pradesh was called 'Deva Bhoomi ' (the land of the gods). From the

early period of its history it was inhabited by tribes like the Koilis, Halis, Dagis, Dhaugris,

Dasa, Khasas, Kinnars and Kirats. The Aryan influence in this area of India dates to the

period before the Rigveda.

The day to day diet of Himachalis is though similar to the rest of north India but is unique for

its taste and ingredients used. They havelentil, rice, and vegetables. The rotis (breads) are

made of flours like wheat and maize. Some of the specialties of the Himachali cuisine include

Mandra, Maahni, Batt, MithaSaloona, Bhujju, Saag, Palda, Redhu, chouck, bhagjery, jhoul,

siddu/batooru, beduan, chutney, khattidal, etc.

The day to day dishes of the people of Himachal Pradesh is very similar to the rest of north

India in the sense that they too have dal-chawal-subzi-roti (lentil broth, rice, dish of

vegetables and bread). However, one difference is that non vegetarian items are more in

famous here than other north Indian states. Till recently, all that Himachal knew of vegetables

were potatoes and turnips. However, now gradually, green vegetables are making their

importance felt more and more. Some of the dishes that are unique to Himachal include

Pateer, Chouck, Bhagjery and chutney of Til. Apart from these Nasasta is a sweetmeat of the

Kangra region, Indra is dish prepared of Urad dal and Bada/Poldu is cooked in the Shimla

region.

The people are deeply religious and god fearing. The grandeur of the natural features, the

Himalayas and the magnitude of physical forces, has led the inhabitants to assign

supernatural powers to natural environments. To the children of the mountains, the'

Himalayas are the Gods'. Along with the Gods represented in the 'Thakardwara's' and the

'Shivalas', people worship the village deities, the Deotas, the Rishis, the Munis, the Siddhas,

the Pandavas, the hill tops, the trees, the joginis or wood fairies, the Kali, the Shakti, the

Nagas (snakes) and even a host of devils and deities of the aborigines.

11th five year plan, an Indian Institute of Technology will be established in this state. Further,

AtalBihari Vajpayee Government Engineering and Technology Institute has been started at

Pragatinagar, in shimla distt. This college will have engineering related courses such as ITI,

RELIGION

Most Chileans are Roman Catholics. The religion has played a large role in defining social

and political life. Religious instruction in public schools is almost exclusively Roman

Catholic.

Abortion is actually illegal due to the influence of the Church. Divorce was illegal until

2004.

Most national holidays are religious in nature. Chileans of more mature generations still

celebrate their saint's day as much as they do their own birthday.

Major religions in Chile are as follows:

• Roman Catholic 70%,

• Evangelical 15.1%,

• Jehovah’s Witnesses 1.1%,

• Other Christian 1%,

• Other 4.6%

25

Religious Beliefs:

A large majority of Chileans (73 percent) are affiliated with the Roman Catholic

Church.

Some 15 percent of the population identifies itself with several Protestant groups.

Another 4 percent of the population belongs to other religious groups (Jews, Muslims,

and Greek Orthodox).

While 8 percent claim not to profess any religion.

Chileans profoundly respect the religious beliefs of others, and religion rarely seldom

constitutes a source for conflicts or disagreement.

Religious Practitioners:

The national authorities of the Roman Catholic Church have historically exerted a

high degree of influence in Chile. For instance, during the Pinochet regime the chief of the

Chilean Catholic Church, Cardinal Raúl Silva Henriquez, took a firm stand against the

government's human rights exploitation. The Church also offered legal support and

institutional protection to many persecuted people. Following democratic restoration, Chilean

bishops have actively participated in national debates about divorce, abortion, and the role of

the family in modern society.

26

DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE

Chile is in the advanced stages of demographic transition and is becoming an aging

society - with fertility below replacement level, low mortality rates, and life expectancy on

par with developed countries. Nevertheless, with its dependency ratio nearing its low point,

Chile could benefit from its favorable age structure.

It will need to keep its large working -age population productively employed, while

preparing to provide for the needs of its growing proportion of elderly people, especially as

women - the traditional caregivers - increasingly enter the workforce. Over the last two

decades, Chile has made great strides in reducing its poverty rate, which is now lower

than most Latin American countries.

However, its severe income inequality ranks as the worst among members of the

Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Unequal access to quality

Education perpetuates this uneven income distribution.

Chile has historically been a country of emigration but has slowly become more attractive to

immigrants since transitioning to democracy in 1990 and improving its economic

stability (other regional destinations have concurrently experienced deteriorating economic

and political conditions). Most of Chile's small but growing foreign -born population consists

of transplants from other Latin American countries, especially Peru.

27

THE ROLE OF THE FAMILY

The family occupies a central role in Chilean life.

Extended families are very close and will frequently congregate for major occasions

and celebrations.

Family and business are intertwined to the extent that nepotism is seen as a positive

concept.

Many small firms will be 100% family run.

Mainly nuclear families are residing over there.

Domestic Unit:

The nuclear family is by far the dominant household unit in Chile. Ninety percent of the

population lives with their family while only 8.1 percent live alone. Family size has

strongly decreased inrecent decades. The average family consists of four persons ,

and the average number of children is 2.5 per woman. Chile is among the

countries with the lowest fertility rate in Latin America, and with the most rapid

rate of decrease. In most households (79 percent) authority is held by men. Female- led

households can mainly be found among low-income sectors. Particularly among the

middle and upper classes, housewives possess a large degree of discretional power

in decisions concerning the ruling of their homes (including acquisition of furniture

and financial matter s) and the children's education.

28

Kin Groups:

Although the nuclear family constitutes the basis of Chilean households, grandparents

continue to exert considerable authority in family affairs. Moreover, and either by necessity

or by choice, grandparents (especially widowed grandparents) frequently live with the

family of one of their daughters or sons. Married children normally visit their parent’s over

15the weekend and it is not uncommon for them to talk with their parents by phone almost

daily. Aunts, uncles, and cousins are also considered to be close relatives and they

frequently meet at family and social gatherings. Particularly in the lower classes, the

extended family represents an indispensable source of support for coping with difficulties in

hard times.

CLASS STRUCTURE

Chilean history has had a large influence on modern day class lines. Generally speaking, class

in drawn along financial lines. Today‘s wealthiest class are more or less the same Land

owning families of before. A middle class has developed of late and now accounts for nearly

a half of the population. Classes are fluid and it is possib le to move either upwards or

downwards depending on your salary.

SOCIAL PROFILING

Due to class structures it is commonplace for people to try and deduce

another's position in the social rank.

This is primarily done through external appearances, i.e. dress, etc.

As a result they present themselves in the best possible way.

29

LANGUAGE IN CHILE

Spanish in the official language of Chile. There are also quite a few indigenous languages

such as Mapudungun (spoken between the Itata and Tolten rivers) and Aymara (spoken in the

mountains of the north). In short there are mainly five languages used in Chile:

Spanish (official)

Mapudungun

German

English

Aymara

RITUAL & HOLY PLACES

Many popular religious celebrations and processions take place in Chile. One of the most

colorful is the Festival of La Tirana. This festival is celebrated for three days in July in the

village of La Tirana, some 40 miles (64 kilometers) from the interior or the port of Iquique

spine, near the Atacama Desert. This celebration is strongly influenced by the carnival of

Oruro, Bolivia. During the celebrations, some 150,000 people dance in the streets in colorful

costumes and masks of the devil. The Festival of La Tira na is an expression of religious mix

of Catholicism and ancient indigenous practices.

On December 8, Chileans celebrate the Immaculate Conception (the Virgin Mary). During

this day, many people make a pilgrimage to Santiago in the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Lo

Vasquez (a shrine some 50 miles [80 km] of Santiago) to show their religious devotion. Some

people walk many miles on their knees to show their respect to the virgin and as a reward for

the favors she has granted.

30

CUSTOMS IN CHILE

1. INHERITANCE

according to the law and the Chilean customs, when the father dies half of the estate goes to

his wife. The other half is divided by the number of children and both parties to the mother.

So in a family with two children, the mother inherits three quarters of the estate. Age or

gender differences between the children do not affect their rights to equal shares of

inheritance. Until very recently, however, Chilean law made a distinction between

"legitimate" (born in wedlock) and "illegitimate" children. Depending on the specific

situation, he had little or no rights to obtain a portion of the estate. In early 2000, this

discriminatory law was abolished.

2. MARRIAGE

Marriage is one of the most important rites of passage between the Chileans. Although

registration of marriage in the civil register is sufficient for it to be officially recognized

under Chilean law, most Chileans find that marriage is not really complete without a church

ceremony. Everyone is free to marry whomever he or she wants, but because Chile is class

consciousness of society, people generally marry people of similar social and educational

backgrounds

. Weddings are normally ostentatious and wedding parties are often organized at home or in a

small room near the church. Commonly, Chileans marry young (in their early to mid

twenties) and tend to have children relatively soon after the wedding. Only 12 percent of

Chilean women are still single at the age of forty five. People have very conservative views

on sex before marriage and living together before marriage is still relatively rare (only 3

percent of women aged twenty-five and forty-four). Because of religious and political

influence of the Roman Catholic Church, Chile is the only Latin American country without

divorce law. Instead, couples who want to end their marriage application for cancellation of

civil marriage, on the pretext that a procedural error was made at the civil marriage

ceremony. As this involves a costly legal proceedings, many Chileans just informal end a

marriage, but it prevents them from marrying again under Chilean law.

31

3. DEATH AND THE AFTERLIFE

Chileans pay great tribute to loved ones who have passed away. After the death of a wake and

a funeral are held at a church where close friends and extended family to help religious

service. Chile's most prefer tombs, but in recent years an increasing number of people choose

to be cremated. It is common practice that every year on the anniversary of the death, a

Catholic Mass is offered in memory of the deceased. On November 1, All Saints Day, many

Chileans to visit the cemetery to bring flowers to the grave of family members and friends.

Most Chileans believe there is an afterlife.

32

FOOD

Food in Daily Life:

Power occupies a very special place in Chilean culture. Chilean normally eat four times daily.

The first meal of the day is breakfast, which consists mainly of rather light fare, including

toast with butter and instant coffee with milk. Lunch (served 1: 00-14: 00) is the big meal of

the day. Traditionally two main courses are served. The first course is perhaps a salad of

some sort. A common salad is the Chilean ensalada, including chopped onions, chopped and

peeled tomatoes, salad dressing with oil and vinegar, and fresh cilantro (coriander). The

second dish usually includes beef or chicken with vegetables. Around 17:00 Chileans take

time, a cup of tea with bread and jam, which also includes cheese and often palta (lawyers).

Once, which means "eleven" is obviously named after the British tea time 11: Around 0:00

21:00 most families serve dinner, which is usually a single but important dish, often with

wine grown in the many vineyards in the Central Valley. Chilean cuisine has both Indian and

European influences. The national dish, Porotos Granados, for example, the characteristic

ingredients of Indian cuisine (corn, squash and beans), with significantly Spanish

contributions (onion and garlic). As might be expected in a country with a long coastline,

seafood has a leading role in local culinary preferences. Traditional Chilean seafood includes

locos (abalone), machas (razor clams), hedgehogs (large sea urchins) and cochayuyo (algae).

Another national dish is caldillo of congrio, eel soup, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, herbs and

spices.

Food Customs at Ceremonial Occasions:

During the celebrations of Independence Day (18 September) Chileans eat a wide variety of

traditional dishes. As a snack or first course of a big meal, Chileans eat normally empanadas.

This Spanish-born pastry is stuffed with meat, cheese or seafood, as well as onions, grapes

and olives. Another popular starting is humitas, which contains a pulp white corn, onion

rings, and basil, wrapped in maize leaves and cooked in boiling water. A second classic dish

is pastel de choclo (choclo is the Mapuche word for corn). It is a white corn and beef stew

33

topped with sugar and most of the time cooked in traditional black ceramic plates, hand in the

small town of ptomaine. Also on Independence Day, large parrilladas (barbecues) are held

throughout the attempted Con. Large quantities of wine, chicha (fermented apple brew) and

pisco (grape brandy) accompany the celebrations.

Cuisine:

Cazuela and assorted salads. Chilean cuisine is a reflection of the country's

topographical variety, featuring an assortment of seafood, beef, fruits, and vegetables.

Traditional recipes include asado, cazuela, empanadas, humitas, pastel de choclo, pastel

de papas, curanto and sopaipillas. Crudos is an example of the mixture of culinary

contributions from the various ethnic influences in Chile. The raw minced llama, heavy use

of shellfish and rice bread were taken from native Quechua Andean cuis ine, (although

now beef brought to Chile by Europeans is also used in place of the llama meat), lemon and

onions were brought by the Spanish colonists, and the use of mayonnaise and yogurt was

introduced by German immigrants, as was beer.

34

FESTIVALS OF CHILE

VINA DEL MAR MUSIC FESTIVAL:

Every year during the last week of February, Vina del Mar, an upscale resort about two hours from

Santiago, Vina del Mar holds the Music Festival. This popular music festival, broadcast nationally is

GENER ROLES AND STATUSES

1. DIVISION OF LABOUR BY GENDER

Women represent 51 percent of the population. Although the participation of women in the

labor market has increased dramatically in recent decades (83 percent between 1970 and

1990), women today only 37 percent of the total working population of Chile. Despite the

increasing attention of democratic governments that attempt to improve the working and

social conditions of women, women still have to work under less favorable conditions than

men. The unemployment rate among women is consistently higher than that of men, and

women earn about 65 percent of the income earned by men for equivalent jobs. In education,

women are not left men women under thirty-five years, or have equal or more than men

training. Middle and upper class women are generally well educated and are not only used in

traditional areas (such as nursing, teaching and social services), but also doctors, engineers,

lawyers and economists .

2. THE RELATIVE STATUS OF WOMEN AND MEN

Women and men are equal under Chilean law and the state is required to provide both sexes equal

employment opportunities. Women have a lot of influence and are very active in almost all areas of

Chilean society. Among Chilean privacy men almost always socialize with their friends in the

company of their girlfriends or wives, and it does participate in conversations and discussions on an

equal footing. Also because of the high class nature of Chilean society, women in middle and upper

class backgrounds have immensely more social status, power, and access to good jobs than men of

the lower classes. Nevertheless, overall women in Chile have a lower status than men. This is

particularly visible in politics where power relations found its principal expression. Women received

full voting rights only in 1949 and they rarely filled more than 7 percent of the parliamentary seats.

39

SOCIAL PROBLEMS & CONTROLS

Chile rather small class on crime across the world. The country has an annual murder rate of 1.7 per

100 000 inhabitants. Flights or flights with violent aggression, however, have increased over the last

decade. Crime was repeatedly mentioned by the great majority of Chileans as one of the most

serious problems of the country. The strength of the Chilean police, carabinieri, enjoys great prestige

among the population, as it is known to be relatively efficient and incorruptible. Chile has a relatively

high imprisonment rates 165 100 000 citizens, almost twice the rate of the main European countries.

This could be related to the judicial system of the country that many believe is in desperate need of

modernization. As a result, there are long delays before testing, and preventive detention and

pushes the rate up. In addition, European countries have methods of alternative penalties, while

Chile does not.

IDENTITY & TRADITIONS

Because of the geography of Chile dissimilar cultural expressions vary considerably in

different parts of the country.The North is characterized by various cultural events that

combine the influence of the indigenous peoples of the Andes of the Spanish conquistadors,

to which is added the importance of festivals and religious traditions, highlighting diabladas

and Fiesta de La Tirana.

The central area is identified mainly with rural traditions of the countryside and the Chilean

culture called Huasa extending between the regions of Coquimbo and Biobío, most of the

time. As in this geographical region has the largest share of the Chilean population, is

40

traditionally considered the cultural identity of the leading countries. Its highest expression is

performed during the festivities of the Independence Day in mid-September.

MUSIC & DANCE

41

Music in Chile ranges from folkloric music, popular music and also to classical music. Its

large geography generates different musical expressions in the north, center and south of the

country, including also Easter Island and Mapuche music. The national d ance is the cueca.

Another form of traditional Chilean song, though not a dance, is the tonada. Arising from

music imported by the Spanish colonists, it is distinguished from the cueca by an

intermediate melodic section and a more prominent melody.

LITERATURE

Chileans call their country país de poetas-country of poets. Gabriela Mistral was the first

Latin American to receive a Nobel Prize for Literature (1945). Chile's most famous poet,

however, is Pablo Neruda, who also received the Nobel Prize for Literature (1971) and is

world-renowned for his extensive library of works on romance, nature, and politics. His three

highly personalized homes, located in Isla Negra, Santiago and Valparaíso are popular tourist

destinations.

HISTORY OF HIMACHAL PRADESH

The region of Himachal Pradesh was called 'Deva Bhoomi ' (the land of the gods). From the

early period of its history it was inhabited by tribes like the Koilis, Halis, Dagis, Dhaugris,

Dasa, Khasas, Kinnars and Kirats. The Aryan influence in this area of India dates to the

period before the Rigveda. Sankar Varma, the king of Kashmir exercised his influence over

regions of Himachal Pradesh in about 883 AD. This region witnessed the invasion of

Mahmud of Ghazni in 1009AD, who during that period invaded and looted the wealth from

the temples in the North of India. In about 1043AD the Rajputs ruled over this territory.

Known for its vibrant and exquisite natural scenery it received the royal patronage of the

Mughal rulers who erected several works of art as an appreciation of this land. The Gurkhas

who migrated from Nepal captured this area and devastated it. In about the early 19th century

the British exercised their influence and annexed the areas of Shimla after the Gurkha War of

1815-16. It became a centrally administered territory in 1948 with the integration of 31 hill

states and received additional regions added to it in 1966.

India in the sense that they too have dal-chawal-subzi-roti (lentil broth, rice, dish of

vegetables and bread). However, one difference is that non vegetarian items are more in

famous here than other north Indian states. Till recently, all that Himachal knew of vegetables

were potatoes and turnips. However, now gradually, green vegetables are making their

importance felt more and more. Some of the dishes that are unique to Himachal include

'Shivalas', people worship the village deities, the Deotas, the Rishis, the Munis, the Siddhas,

corn ear are all in charge of separate spirits. Animals sacrifice is a

major religious rite and is performed at weddings, funerals,

festivals, harvest time, on the beginning of the thanksgiving.

great Padma Sambhava who was responsible for the spread of

Buddhism in Tibet in the 8th century, lived for some time at

Riwalsar near Mandi. There is a temple in his name. Lamaistic Buddhism assimilates the

mysticism of the northern school of Buddhism, the 'Vajra-yana' with the magic and devil

worship of the Tantras and the cult of the Shakti, Tara. The priest or the Lama is the friend,

philosopher and guide of the Buddhists.

The Muslims in the villages follow Saint Pir Lakh Data and also pray and light earthen lamps

at the shrines of other saints.

OVERVIEW

Before independence, the Christian religious orders mainly influenced Chilean education. In

fact, the Jesuits founded the first schools in the country. Since the Primera Junta Nacional de

Gobierno (First National Junta) in 1810 there was an interest in the development of

educational systems in the new country expressed by members of the independence

movement. This commitment was materialized by a decree approved specifically waived

taxes for a year and a half on books, cards, printers, physics instruments a nd machines that

have contributed to the social and educational advancement. Based on this predisposition to

facilitate education, during 1813, the National Library was created, freedom of the press was

established, and the first offici al government newspaper El Araucano Monitor, was created.

Conquest, late 1500s, early periods of independence, 1800, education was in the hands of

Catholic organizations. Churches, where reading and writing were taught, had the primary

objective of evangelization and win new Christians raised in the faith. In addition, education

was highly stratified, it was designed for members of traditional Spanish families and later,

and the aristocrats who formed the national elite. Similarly, education has been emphasized

for men who were to occupy political positions and play a leadership role in the

nation.Tradition the other hand, prevailed on the right; educational institutions were created

primarily for boys, as in the case of secondary education. Similarly, from a professional po int

of view, girls' access to education has also been limited. Only twelve years after the first

normal school was opened for men, the first school for girls of this type was created.

This is only the beginning of the 20th century, when drastic educational reforms and

moderate solidified public education in the country mainly motivated by political movements

and social force led by the unions. 44In 1927, the Ministry of Education was created, whose

main role to plan, implement and enforce laws on education and supervise the conditions of

education at national level. Except for a few short periods of time, his administration was

characterized by centralized policies offering programs that favored uniform nationwide,

including content, providing textbooks and basic school supplies free for primary education.

This policy has encouraged the relocation of families along the country making education an

58

easy transition for children to readjust to new schools on the different geographical areas of

the nation for decades.

Chilean education has adopted a large degree of rigidity reflected on the social and

geographical inequalities. The most disadvantaged children are from poor strata who lived in

rural areas where the authority did not enforce registration and acce ss to schools has been

difficult because of the distance. The emphasis on education for economically disadvantaged

and rural areas of the country was given by the democratic government E. Frei Christian

President in the last five years of the decade of the 1960s when most contemporary methods

applied to public education or re-enacted previous projects carried out in the 1920s and

1930s.

CHILE'S EDUCATION WOES

October 13, 2006

Students and teachers have been organizing protests and sporadic strikes in Chile to

demand that the government use some of its record profits from valuable copper exports

of the country to improve the quality of state education says the economist.

At the heart of the demonstrations are the differences between the economic growth

of their country and the education system. Consider:

latest Global Competitiveness Report of the World Economic Forum identifies Chile

as the most competitive economy in the world 27 - far ahead of the rest of Latin

America - but just 76th in the overall quality of its education system and for its 100th

Mathematics and education.

Other international studies also suggest that the level of education in Chile, but not so

different from that of other Latin American countries, is lower than many countries

with similar income levels. In response, President Michelle Bache let now proposes to

increase state funding for the poorest students by half over the next four years. Under

the plan:

The program will spend approximately $ 300 million per year when fully operational.

Funding from current students about $ 60 a month would be about $ 90 for the poorest

students - provided their schools can show a measurable improvement in

performance. But money can not be the only or even the main, problem, says

economist:

In 2004 the total expenditure on education - public and private - had reached 7.3

percent of gross domestic product (GDP) , against 4 percent in 1990, putting the

country on a par with many developed countries.

60

Even among children of the wealthiest families in Chile, most of which are in private

fee-paying schools; educational standards are low by international standards.

Source: "How to make them better," Economist, October 7, 2006.

Chile has a diversified education system, the levels are divided into preschool,

primary, secondary, and higher education. The schools are run in both the private

sector and by States, the latter being known locally as liceos. Among them, high

schools follow a two-pronged approach of human sciences and Scientific-Technical

and Vocational Education. The first has to do with regular courses on literature,

history, physics, mathematics, etc., while the second is to provide instruction in the

practical and technical areas, such as metalworking, of electricity, etc. There is also a

third option, known as arts education.

An estimated 99.7% of children aged 6 to 14 years enroll for basic education, while in

secondary education, this measure is 87.7%.

Educational Costs and Reforms.

The cost of education depends on the type of school. Schools with voluntary fees may

levy a fixed admission fee, while subsidized private schools with mandatory fees may

be charged for enrollment, tuition, and other services. On the other hand, private

schools are free to decide their own fee-structure.

In 2011, the country experienced massive and violent student protests, demanding

reforms in the education system. The students said they wanted a more direct state

participation in secondary education, and the end of the shameless decision goes in

favor of higher education. The movement has gained strong support across the

country, the students refused to attend classes and took to the streets.

61

Education in Chile is divided in following part;

Preschool,

Primary school,

Secondary school,

& technical or higher education (university).

62

Levels of education

Medio), students can choose a topic is science (mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology) or

humanities (literature, history, philosophy), for more advanced courses.

2. "technical-professional" designed to allow students to quickly enter the workforce after high

school. Students learn practical lessons in technical areas such as electrical, mechanical, metal

assembly, etc.

Higher education:

the University (Universidad): They are divided between the "traditional" universities

(public and private universities established (mostly) before the 1981 reform) and

private institutions.

Professional Institute (Professional Institute, IP): Private schools offering

professional degrees, except for those given only by universities. They were created

in 1981.

Technical Education Center (Centro de Formación Técnica, CFT): Also created in

1981, these are private institutions that offer technical degrees only.

pre-primary level is two years of non-compulsory education for children four to five years. Primary

and secondary educations are required. Primary education is 6 to 13, and secondary education is 14

to 17. In 2000, 99 percent of school -age children studying in primary schools and 90 secondary

In terms of funding, there are the following types of schools:

financially to schools. The majority of population studies in these schools (64% at the primary level).

2. Special Subvencionado: Private with a government grant. At primary level, 29% of the population

attends this type of school.

3. Special: Private. At primary level, 7% of the population attends this type of school.

4. Business schools are schools run by companies who receive the same grant the State as municipal

schools get.

After graduating from high school, students may choose to go to college, work, or study in a

professional institute or service center. In Chile, a university education is much less common and

64

much more prestigious than in the US Selección Universitaria Prueba is the national exam that

students must be in their final year of high school, if they want to go to university. Chilean public

universities are more competitive than private, although private schools may have additional

entrance examinations. Some students choose to enter a pre-university program to prepare for the

exam.

At the university level, students are divided by teachers and then by year. University students

studying for four to seven years; those studying for four or five years typically get the equivalent of a

bachelor's degree. Engineering diplomas, medicine and law are given after six or seven years of

college.

A brief description of the Chilean education system

The Chilean system has four levels of education with universal coverage up to the

standards of any first world country.

Chile invests 7.5% of its gross domestic product in education, a considerable amount

which surpasses some developed countries like Finland or the United States, to name a

few.

Chile's education system is decentralized; administration for each establishment is executed

by persons or municipal and private institutions known as sustainers, who are responsible for

managing the educational establishment on behalf of the State.

68

The system is made up of subsidized establishments, municipal and private

establishments with four levels of education: pre-school or early education, elementary

or primary, high school and higher education.

Coverage of Chile’s education system is practically universal. 99.7% of all children

between the age of 6 and 14 are enrolled in elementary or primary school (EGB).

87.7% of all children between the age of 15 and 18 are enrolled in high school. 2009 higher

education figures indicate that total enrollment in 2008 came to 752,182 students, the

highest rate in history and up 14% compared to 2007. The system coverage is already

surpassing 40%, which is very high and even comparable to some developed countries.

Advances have been possible because the education system is obligatory and the most

recent administrations have put forth important efforts aimed to improve education

quality.

CHILEAN STUDENTS WIN INTERNATIONAL AWARD

FOR ANTARCTIC RESEARCH

Two Chilean students received the International 2013 Stockholm Junior Water Prize for their

work discovering natural biological solutions to oil spills.

Friday, October 11, 2013 Category: Education

Naomi Estay and Omayra Toro were awarded the International 2013 Stockholm Junior Water

Prize by Princess Victoria of Sweden. Photo by worldwaterweek / FlickrNaomi Estay and

Omayra Toro, two students at the Liceo 1 of Santiago , were presented with the

International 2013 Stockholm Junior Water Prize by the H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria

of Sweden last month for their ground-breaking work in Antarctica. Their project took

them to the white continent where they successfully identified a dozen bacterial strains that

can, at very low temperatures, metabolize the dangerous contaminants that result from an

oil spill.

“The knowledge developed has potentially widespread application. It shows how we can

learn from natural processes to solve modern problems.

86

Their trip, a weeklong expedition in February, was part of their prize when they placed first at

the IX Antarctic IX School Fair, held in Magellan’s last year.

“We are so happy and excited. We worked with this project for two years. Antarctica, the

white continent, has been a big inspiration to us in our work and now we want to continue our

investigation,” Omayra Toro, one of the winners, said. “We also want to spread awareness

about the effects of pollution in the world.”

Their hard work is not only paying off in terms of global recognition, but could have a real

impact on the world as environmental issues continue to be a real threat.

“The increasing melting of the polar ice caps and our continued thirst for oil will

unfortunately make this kind of clean up strategies even more relevant in the future.

The project also made an incredibly inspiring story,” the Jury stated in its citation. Estay and

Toro’s research beat out projects from teams from 28 countries, all ages 15 -20. In order to

reach the finals, thousands of students around the world competed in national events

focusing on local, regional, national or global topics relating to the environment and

water.

87

EDUCATION FOR ALL MOVEMENT

The Education for All (EFA) movement is a global commitment to provide quality basic

education for all children, youth and adults. At the World Education Forum (Dakar, 2000),
