Abstract
Although in the late 1960s Chile had already solved traditionalproblems such as basic literacy, and access to primary education andtraining of highly qualified university professionals, little advancewas made by the military government in the 1970s. Thus in the early1980s the military government introduced economic competition in theeducation system, hoping to increase the quality of education in spiteof projected further cuts in public resources for education. The swiftimplementation of the market model in education was soon affected byunforeseen constraints and effects, and later on the economic crisisforced changes in initial regulations several times during the nextdecade. Economic competition eventually generated a substantialincrement of private education decentralised decisions increased costrecovery but it also increased inequity in education outcomes reducedthe ability of the system to attract good candidates to an academiccareer and reduced the share of education in the GNP.
