A distribuição desigual de oportunidades educacionais no território e migração da matrícula escolar: o caso da região de Los Lagos (Chile)

Resumo

One of the characteristics of the actual Chilean school system is the growing segmentation across socioeconomic groups of students, which has intensified in the last decade along the growth of private schools enrollment. In the heart of this phenomenon has been the policy debate on financing of the school system. Beyond the measures of the student's individual vulnerability, the article discusses the need to incorporate aspects of educational risk related to the territories where the students are located, and the dependency relationships between these areas at a national level. To understand the relationships between regions the daily migration processes of students between districts are analyzed, delving into the case of the Lakes Region. The paper concludes with policy recommendations for the funding policy and the management of public education policy in the context of the discussion of the new architecture of Chilean school system.
